Vegan Cherry-Apricot Cashew Bites

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dried dark sweet cherries  (unsweetened and unsulfered from Trader Joe's)
  • 1/4 cup + 1/4 cup dried apricots (unsweetened and unsulfered from Trader Joe's)
  • 1/3 cup raw cashews
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats gluten free if necessary
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp warm water
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder  (TCHO brand) for rolling

Instructions

  • Start by adding the dried fruit and cashews to a food processor. Pulse until they're combined.
  • Throw in your rolled oats, coconut, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Pulse. You may need to scrape down the sides once or twice.
  • At this point, you'll want your dough to (mostly) stick together. I added a tablespoon or so of warm water to help. Use your fingers to press it together. If it sticks, you're done with the food processor.
  • Scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. If you want to roll these in cocoa powder (as I did for some), feel free!
  • To note: You can store these in an airtight container or a stasher bag (if you keep them in the fridge, they will harden). Also, these aren't overly sweet because I used cherries and apricots for the base instead of dates. Add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey if you'd like.
