Let date paste stand until cool before mixing with coconut oil.
Add coconut oil to date paste and mix until smooth. Add almond butter and stir until combined. Add cocoa and stir until combined. [This is when you would add maca or protein powder].
Using a nut grinder, grind nuts and seeds into small pieces.
Add nuts, seeds, cranberries and granola to the almond butter mixture and stir gently to combine.
Scoop mixture with a teaspoon and form into bite-sized balls using your hands. Place balls on a plate or baking sheet that will fit in the fridge. Once balls are formed, refrigerate until solid, then store in a glass container in the fridge fro up to 6 weeks.
