Nut-free tahini snack bites with rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, and hemp seeds. SO easy to make, date-sweetened, and perfect for lunch boxes. Just 7 ingredients required!
Share:
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup tightly packed pitted medjool dates (10-12 large dates yield ~3/4 cup or 150 g)
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (ensure gluten-free as needed)
- 1/4 cup Tahini (creamy, drippy // find our favorite brands here)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (also called pepitas)
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds (plus more for rolling, if desired)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract*
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
CHOCOLATE TOPPING optional
- 2-3 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (dairy-free as needed)
- 1 tsp Tahini
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- To a food processor, add pitted dates and process until broken down and the dates have formed a “date ball” — about 1 minute. Break up the “date ball” into smaller pieces, then add the remaining ingredients: oats, tahini, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, vanilla, and sea salt. Process until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should be a bit loose and “chunky” — and not so wet that it sticks to your fingers. If too wet, add more oats 1 Tbsp at a time. If too dry, add a little more tahini.
- CHOCOLATE TOPPING (optional): Add the chocolate chips and tahini to a small glass or metal bowl. Carefully place the bowl on top of a saucepan with simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula or spoon, until melted and no lumps remain (~5 minutes). You can also melt the chocolate and tahini in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave in 15-second increments until melted.
- Place a small plate or dish nearby for your bites and, if desired, add hemp seeds to a small mixing bowl. Then, scoop out 1 Tbsp amounts and form into balls, dropping some of them into the hemp seeds if desired. We drizzled some with chocolate + a sprinkle of sea salt and rolled some in hemp seeds (both toppings optional).
- Place finished bites on your plate or dish and transfer to the refrigerator to firm up (at least 30 minutes for best texture). Enjoy! Leftover bites keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
Notes
- *If not nut-free, almond extract is also super tasty in these!*Prep time includes chilling.*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without optional ingredients.
