Method
step 01
In a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, add the pitted dates, walnuts, coconut, vanilla extract, and salt. Process briefly, until the mixture looks crumbly.
step 02
As soon as the mixture sticks together when pressed between your fingers, it's ready to roll into balls. Be careful not to over-process the mixture, as it can become quite greasy when blended for too long.
step 03
Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop the mixture, then roll it between your hands to form balls. (Sometimes you'll need to squeeze it first to stick together, then roll into balls.) Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, until you've made roughly 18 date balls.
matcha perfection
Serve your matcha pancakes warm, topped with your favourite fruits, syrup, or a light dusting of matcha powder for an extra touch of green. A delicious balance of flavour and texture, they’re an easy, satisfying option whether you’re easing into the day or treating yourself a little later on.
