(makes 24)
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
pinch fine sea salt
1/2 cup chopped Medjool dates
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon date syrup (or maple syrup)
1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
In a food processor, whir the sunflower seeds, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and salt together until the seeds are fine in texture. Add in the dates and run on low speed until chopped and well-distributed. The mixture will begin to look moist.
Add in the pumpkin, oats, olive oil, date syrup, and chia seeds. Pulse until combined.
Use a small scoop to portion the dough and roll into about 1-inch balls. Store in the refrigerator.
