Total Time:10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed Medjool dates , pitted (about 11-12)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (I used both)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup dried apples chips, or any dried apples
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (I used pecan butter)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 scoop protein powder, plain or vanilla (I used Nuzest Just Natural, use code: NUTSABOUTGREENS15 to save $$) 
  • 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1-2 Tbsp water

Instructions

  • Add everything in the food processor except the water. Pulse until combined. 
  • Add 1 tablespoon of water and pulse again until a dough starts to come/stick together. If needed, add a little bit of water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough sticks together when you squeeze some in-between your fingers. 
  • Roll into balls (I used a 1.5 Tbsp cookie scoop) and place on a plate with parchment paper. Store in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy! 
Servings: 14 bites
