Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, add in the oats and pulse a few times.
- Add in all other remaining ingredients and process on high until mixture is well combined.
- Roll into balls using a cookie scoop or your hands. Recipe makes ~13-15 bites, maybe more if you make them smaller.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate on top or stir in mini chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Note: Mixture may appear crumbly. Once you start to form it together between your palms it will come together to make a ball. If it's just not working out, add more nut butter and a splash of water, blend again until desired consistency is reached.
Notes
- Optional toppings: roll in unsweetened shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, drizzle with melted peanut butter or melted chocolate.
- Soak dates in lukewarm water for ~10 minutes if needed prior to chopping and blending.
- Be sure to use a creamy nut butter for best results.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips and these will last just like cookie dough!
- Store in fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
