While the pan is on low heat, melt the butter. Toss in the salt and cinnamon powder and mix well. When the butter has melted completely, take it off the heat.
Finely chop the seeds and nuts:
The pumpkin seeds, pistachios, walnuts, and almonds should be roughly chopped. You have the option to softly pulse them in the food processor if you would want them to be finely chopped.
Gather All of the Ingredients: In a big bowl, mix together the date paste, toasted sesame seeds, chopped nuts, and seeds. Once everything is properly blended, pour the melted butter mixture over it.
Then, using your hands, roll the mixture into little balls, each approximately one inch in diameter. These will be the bites. Set them on a foil-lined baking sheet or platter.
Cool down:
To make the bites more solid, chill them in the fridge for half an hour.
Pre- or post-workout, have one as a fast energy snack.
For a nutritious mid-afternoon snack, try it with some hot tea or coffee.
For a tasty and healthy snack, include them in lunchboxes.
Serve as a garnish for smoothie or yogurt bowls.
As a nutritious finger snack alternative, serve during gatherings or celebrations.
Hints for Recipes:
Medjool dates are ideal since they are sticky and naturally soft, which makes them easy to shape into bits.
Lightly greasing your hands with a little butter or oil can make rolling the date mixture easier if it's too sticky.
Put in whichever nuts and seeds you like—for variety, try hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, or flaxseeds.
A dairy-free alternative would be to use coconut oil in lieu of the butter.
Dip the bits into chilled ice cream for a crunchier texture, or leave them at room temperature for a softer one.
