This no-bake Almond Flour Date Nut Roll is a delightfully chewy and nutty treat, naturally sweetened with dates and a hint of orange blossom honey. It’s gluten-free and absolutely irresistible!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pitted Medjool dates

  • 1 cup raw almonds

  • 1/2 cup walnuts (or pecans)

  • 1/4 cup almond flour (for dusting)

  • 2 tablespoons orange blossom honey (or regular honey)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • Optional: extra almond flour or shredded coconut for rolling

Directions

  • In a food processor, combine pitted Medjool dates, raw almonds, walnuts, orange blossom honey, orange zest, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  • Process until the mixture forms a sticky, uniform dough that comes together. Be careful not to over-process; you still want some texture from the nuts.
  • Transfer the date mixture to a clean surface. Lightly dust your hands with almond flour to prevent sticking.
  • Divide the mixture into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a log, approximately 8-10 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter.
  • Sprinkle additional almond flour (or shredded coconut) onto a plate. Roll each log gently in the flour/coconut until evenly coated.
  • Wrap the logs tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2-3 hours) to firm up.
  • Once chilled and firm, unwrap the logs and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.

Notes

    • Sweet Secret: If your dates aren’t super soft, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes, then drain thoroughly before processing. This makes for a smoother, more pliable roll.
    • Flavor Play: Don’t be afraid to experiment with your favorite nuts! Pecans or cashews work wonderfully here. A sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom can also add another layer of warmth.
    • Storage Savvy: These rolls freeze beautifully! Wrap individual slices in parchment paper, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for a quick treat.
