Ingredients:
1/2 cup pecan pieces
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Process:
- In a food processor, pulse the oats and pecans until it becomes a fine, almost a flour-like consistency.
- Then add the salt, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, tahini, honey, and Dijon mustard. Pulse until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Using a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon scoop out the mixture and shape into a ball. (Shape into a ball vs. rolling or the mixture will crumble.) Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Store in the refrigerator.
