- Combine all ingredients, minus pecans, into a food processor and process until thoroughly combined.
- Place into the fridge, covered, for 15-20 minutes to thicken up.

- Freezer: Store the bites in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 1 month.
TOOLS USED IN THIS RECIPE
- Cookie Scoop – this makes portioning and rolling so much easier!
- Food Processor – this brand is my favorite. I have had one for 8 years now.
- Parchment Paper Sheets – no measuring or cutting needed! Simply pull and use.
- Glass Food Storage Container – fridge and freezer-friendly.
HELPFUL TIPS
- Using a cookie scoop truly helps to not only roll these balls, but also to get even portions.
- These are freezer-friendly. Store in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Fridge – up to 1 week.
- Parchment paper is great for separating these if you need to stack them in a small container.
- If the mixture seems dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or honey) or almond butter. If it seems to be too dry, add a little extra oatmeal. The balls should be firm and chewy, as well as a little sticky.
- These bites tend to be sticky, so placing them in the fridge helps to firm them up a bit, making rolling easier.
