Author: Sara Trezzi

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons peanut butter - (see note 3)
  • 1 cup Medjool dates - pitted
  • 3/4 cup roasted peanuts - (see note 4)
  • 1/3 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Add the pitted dates, oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and peanuts to a food processor and pulse until mixed. If the mix is a bit dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to make it a bit stickier.
  • Divide the mix into 16 equal parts and use your hands to roll into 1-inch balls.
  • Place the rolled balls into the fridge to firm up for about 15-30 minutes.
  • Store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for up to 2 months if you want to store them for longer.

Notes

Note 1: If you don’t like chocolate (really?!), you can just omit it from the ingredients.
Note 2: If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well. Or, if you are in a hurry, just add a couple of tablespoons of water when you are processing.
Note 3: You can use any nut butter in this recipe: almond butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter…just make sure your nut butter doesn’t contain anything else but nuts (no added oil or salt).
Note 4: You can substitute peanuts with almonds, hazelnuts, cashew nuts…anything you like! Or add some extra chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks for texture.
