Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 6 large Medjool dates, pitted (about 1/2 cup packed pitted dates)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs*

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, stir together oats, chia seeds and cacao nibs. Set aside.
  • Add dates and water to the bowl of a food processor and process a few times until dates begin to break down a bit and form a paste. Next add in maple syrup, vanilla and peanut butter; process again until it begins to look like a wet cookie dough and ingredients are well combined.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. I like to use my hands because it's much easier to get everything mixed well. I know it's a little messy, so my advice is to coat your hands with a small amount of coconut oil so that the dough doesn't stick. 
  • Once the ingredients are well combined, form into 1 inch balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Balls will last for 5-7 days or can be frozen for up to a month.
