This particular recipe actually started as a vegan dessert crust, but when I tasted it I realized how many uses it could have if I tweaked it a bit!
Use it as a topping for yogurt, fruit, ice cream or even as the "crumble" on top of a pie or cobbler! It packs a good amount of protein and it's very simple to make. I'll be honest - more than once I've just eaten it with a spoon! Hope you give it a try!
Nutty Yogurt Topping
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup almonds
1/4 cup pecans
12 dates
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blend ingredients in food processor to desired consistency. I personally like to blend it pretty well, until it's close to flax seed or quinoa grain size. The great part is, you can do it however you like!
* I have also added 1/2 teaspoon almond extract for variety, both in addition to or instead of the vanilla. One of these days I'm going to try it with orange extract... maybe even tonight... mmmmm.
