Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup peanut butter unsweetened
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao powder
  • 10 Medjool dates 6.5 oz, 186g, large pitted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional, pure
  • 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp milk of choice
For Rolling:
  • 1/3 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Transfer the oats to a food processor and process until a flour forms.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients for the balls to the food processor and process until a thick and sticky dough forms. If need be, stop the food processor to scrape the sides several times to help it along.
  3. Once all of the ingredients are combined, if the dough doesn’t press together easily, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of milk (you can use regular milk, oat milk, almond milk, etc.) and process again until you’re able to form balls easily out of the mixture.
  4. Roll the snowball dough into 20 to 26 balls, creating whatever sizes you like. If you have a small cookie scoop, use it to make perfect 1-inch balls.
  5. If desired, roll the balls in unsweetened shredded coconut (you will need to gently press the balls into the coconut to get it to stick) or roll balls in more cocoa powder.
  6. Store balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • *If you use pitted deglet noor dates, you will need 20 to 24 dates, as they are much smaller then medjool dates. For the best results, use a kitchen scale to weigh the dates so you know you’re using the right amount. The stickiness and sweetness of the dates is important to the success of the recipe :) 
  • **Add the milk only if necessary if the chocolate peanut butter mixture isn’t sticky enough to work with. You can use regular milk or a non-dairy milk of choice like almond milk, oat milk or coconut milk.
