Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup Almonds
  • ¼ cup Walnuts
  • ¼ cup Pistachios shells removed
  • ¼ cup Almond Butter
  • 3 Dates pitted
  • ¼ tsp Cardamom ground
  • 5 strands Saffron crushed
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt
  • 1 tbsp Shredded Coconut unsweetened

Method
 

  1. Using a blender or food processor, finely chop almonds, walnuts, pistachios and dates. Alternatively, you can chop them by hand as well.
  2. Place the finely chopped nuts, seeds and dates in a bowl and add ground cardamom, crushed saffron strands, sea salt and almond butter to the mixture. 
  3. Bind them together and make balls from them. 
  4. Roll the powerball nut truffles over shredded coconut. 
  5. Eat the immediately or store in the refrigerator for later consumption.

Notes

  • If the almond butter you have at hand is runny, refrigerate the truffles for sometime before consuming them.
  • Alternatively, you can use other nut or seed butter. Experiment and see what works for you.
  • If saffron is hard to find, skip it altogether. The powerball nut truffles will still taste amazing.
  • You can customize them with nuts and seeds of your choice. You can even add gluten-free oats.
  • You can try other spices too. Cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin spice are all good options.
  • Prepare the powerball nut truffles in advance and in bulk to have them handy throughout the week.
