Jane Olivia👩🏼🍳✨🍝🥒🍒🍰😴🍫BEDTIME WALNUT BITES ft @CA Walnuts #CAWalnutsPartner #Sponsored Recipe: 1 cup raw walnuts ½ cup rolled oats ½ cup dried tart cherries ¼ cup hemp hearts 6-8 dates, pitted 1 tbsp cacao powder Pinch of sea salt Optional: melted dark chocolate for drizzling Method: Pulse the walnuts and oats in a food processor until finely chopped but not powdered. Add the cherries, hemp hearts, dates, cacao, and salt. Pulse until the mixture holds together when pressed. Add water a teaspoon at a time if needed. Depending on the moistness of your dates, you may not need it! Roll into bite-sized balls, drizzle with dark chocolate if desired, and refrigerate until firm. And the research is getting interesting. 👀 ¹Zerón-Rugerio MF, Ibarra-Picón A, Diez-Hernández M et al.
