- Process on medium-high speed until everything comes together into a sticky dough that can be rolled into soft balls. If too wet, add 1-2 teaspoons of flaxseed meal or more almond milk if too dry.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl, add the optional ingredients, and use a spatula to stir and incorporate.
- Chill dough for 15 minutes if you have time. This makes it easier to roll into balls or roll now.
