Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup packed dates, pitted (if dry, soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well)
- 3-4 tbsp all natural salted peanut or almond butter
- 1/4 cup dairy free dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (or sub flax or hemp seeds)
- 2/3 cup gluten free rolled oats
Instructions
- Pulse dates in a food processor or blender until they’re in small pieces or it forms a ball.
- Add oats, chocolate, chia seeds and peanut butter and pulse or mix until combined. You want there to be consistently small pieces but not overly processed.
- Carefully roll into 1-inch balls, using the warmth of your hands to mold them together. Should yield around 14 balls depending on how big you make them.
- Put it in the fridge or freezer to set for 15 minutes. Otherwise, eat as is! Will keep fresh in an air-tight bag or container for up to a week in the fridge. Freeze for longer term storage.
- Enjoy!
