Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 1 cup (packed) pitted Medjool dates
  • 2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, lightly toasted
  • 2 ounces coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter

Instruction

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mat.
  • Soak the dates in hot water for 15 minutes. Drain the dates, reserving 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid. Transfer the dates to a food processor and process until coarsely chopped an the mixture just stars to form a ball. Add a little of the reserved liquid if needed.
  • Add the oats, chocolate, flaxseeds, nut butter, and a few tablespoons of the soaking water to the dates and pulse or mix until combined. You want a mixture with small pieces, not something that is completely smooth.
  • Carefully roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using the warmth of your hands to mold them together.
  • Put on the baking sheet and let set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes.
  • Keep in a zip-top plastic bag for up to a week in the refrigerator.
