Raw Vegan Butter Pecan Cookie Bites
These Raw Vegan Butter Pecan Cookie Bites are inspired by Butter Pecan Sandies, but in raw form with dates, pecans and raisins!
Equipment
- High-speed blender or large bowl food processor
Ingredients
- ¾ cup soft Medjool dates pitted
- ½ cup raw pecans
- 2 tbsp plump black raisins
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch pink salt
- 2 tbsp raw pecans crushed // for rolling in
Instructions
- Toast all the pecans over medium-high heat in a saucepan. Let them get very browned to the point where you can feel it's crispy and the pecan flavor is coming out, but not burned. This will take a couple minutes, but watch them closely as they can burn easily.
- Blend all ingredients except the raisins and the pecans for rolling.
- Add the raisins in and quickly pulse them for 1-2 seconds.
- Shape the dough into bite-sized balls.
- Roll the balls in the extra crushed pecans.
- Enjoy!
