Share:
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal or quick oats
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup nut butter such as almond butter or peanut butter
To Roll The Balls
- ground pistachios
- desiccated coconut
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Using a knife, cut open the dates and discard the seeds.
- Place the dates, oatmeal, walnuts and nut butter in the bowl of a food processor. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated. If the mixture looks dry and not together, add 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water and mix again. You might need more hot water, but add gradually and carefully so the mixture doesn't get to soft.
- Once the mixture comes together and is ready to roll, rub some olive oil on your hands and palms and scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Roll it into a ball and set it aside. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Roll each date ball in ground pistachios, sesame seeds or desiccated coconut. Arrange them on a platter and serve.
Notes
- Store the date balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 6 months. Make sure to thaw them in the fridge overnight before serving them.
- You can jazz up the flavors by adding other ingredients such as cinnamon, cardamom, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, chia seeds or flax seeds.
