Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup dried raspberries (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained)
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the soaked and drained raspberries, finely chopped pistachios, rolled oats, honey, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture forms a sticky dough that holds together well.
- Shape into Balls: Using your hands, take portions of the mixture and roll them into small, evenly sized balls. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the bliss balls for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and emit a fragrant aroma.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove the bliss balls from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy as a wholesome snack or dessert.
Notes
- If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly, add additional honey or coconut oil a tablespoon at a time to help it bind better.
- If the bliss balls are overly sticky to handle, refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes before shaping.
- Finely chopping the pistachios ensures an even texture and prevents large crunchy pieces.
- Allowing the bliss balls to cool fully after baking helps them firm up and improves the flavor.
