12 servings
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates (about 10 dates)
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp za'atar
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ cup oat flour
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1–2 tbsp water, as needed
For serving
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds, for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the walnuts to a food processor and pulse 8–10 times until coarsely chopped and beginning to clump — the texture should resemble coarse, slightly sticky crumbs, not a fine powder.
- 2
Add the dates, tahini, cocoa powder, za'atar, honey, oat flour, cinnamon, and salt to the food processor with the walnuts. Process for 30–45 seconds, scraping down the sides once, until the mixture comes together into a cohesive, slightly sticky dough that holds its shape when pressed between your fingers.
