The other day, I was just plain greedy for something sweet and gooey, but I so don’t like using flour or sugar these days… so this is what I came up with, tweaking an old recipe:
ALMOND BITES
15 dates, roughly chopped
1 cup of almonds, roughly chopped
A bit of vanilla
A nice dash of cinnamon
Unsweetened cocoa powder
I put the chopped dates, almonds, vanilla and cinnamon in my little food processor and pushed the button; it made a nice, thick paste. I put the unsweetened cocoa on a plate, made little balls of dough and rolled them into the cocoa. That’s it!
Five minutes, tops.
Delicious!

What an interesting combination without any flour or sugar…great, healthy alternative. Thanks for sharing your creative recipe.
sounds great, you could also use dried apricots, golden raisins, dried cherries-They look like those delicious truffles but are so better for you.
dried apricots sound delightful!
