Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by processing 1/3 cup of walnuts in a food processor until they resemble coarse sand, which should take about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  2. In the same food processor, add the remaining walnuts and process until they form a fine powder. Then add the Medjool dates, pumpkin purée, cocoa powder, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Blend everything until smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Use a spoon to scoop out portions and roll them into balls about the size of golf balls. Aim for a total of 8 Chocolate Brownie Date Balls; this should take about 5 minutes.
  4. Roll each ball in the reserved coarsely ground walnuts to coat them for added crunch and flavor. Your Chocolate Brownie Date Balls are ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

For best results, process walnuts well and soak dates if they feel dry for easier blending. Experiment with coatings for unique flavors.
