No Bake Vegan Pistachio Baklava Energy Balls
These No Bake Vegan Pistachio Baklava Energy Balls are inspired by the buttery Middle Eastern pistachio dessert known as baklava!
Equipment
- High-speed blender or food processor
Ingredients
For the Energy Balls
- 1⅓ cups Medjool dates
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1⅓ cups roasted, salted pistachios de-shelled
For the Topping
- 2-3 tbsp agave nectar
- ½ cup roasted, salted pistachios crushed, de-shelled
Instructions
- Add all energy ball ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend until a dough comes together, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
- Once a dough is ready, shape into 16 balls. If the dough is too sticky, use refined coconut oil (that doesn't smell like coconuts) or another neutral oil to lightly grease your hands before rolling.
- Shape into 16 equal sized balls. Drizzle the balls with agave nectar. Start with 2 tbsp and add another as needed.
- Roll the balls in the crushed pistachios.
- Place them in a single layer in a container lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate to harden, or eat at room temperature. Enjoy!
