Ingredients you will need:

  1. Raw pecans
  2. Medjool dates

Nut allergy, what are alternatives?

A great alternative for the pecans is pumpkin seeds. And instead of the pecan butter try using sunflower seed butter. But just be sure to taste test as you go. And adjust the flavoring of the donut holes as needed when using alternatives.

What can I used instead of medjool dates?

The medjool dates really help bind these no bake donut holes. But maple syrup or date syrup is a great alternative. Start with 1/4 cup at a time and add more if needed.

How to prepare the donut holes:

Add all the ingredients, to a food processor, and process until you reach a sticky consistency. The dough should be easy to roll into balls. And you could also wet your hands a tad bit to help roll them easier too.

The batter is too dry, what do I do?

If the batter is too dry, add more coconut oil or water, and mix until you get desired consistency.

The batter is too wet, what do I do?

If the batter is too wet, add more almond flour or flaxseed meal to the batter and mix until you reach your desired consistency. But just remember to taste test the batter as you go, to make sure it taste the way you want it to taste.

Coating the donut holes:

And once the donut holes are rolled into balls, roll them in the cinnamon + maple sugar mixture.

How to store:

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
