Description
These no-bake peanut butter date energy balls are naturally sweet, chewy, and packed with wholesome ingredients for a quick snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 9 Medjool dates (pits removed)
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp oat flour
- 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp all-natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup cashew nuts (or peanuts work great)
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut (preferably toasted)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water (more if needed)
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, add the dates, oat flour, peanut butter, cashew nuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, sea salt, vanilla extract, and water. Pulse until the mixture sticks together when pinched. If crumbly, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time and pulse again.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
- Lightly oil your hands and scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, rolling into balls.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Notes
- Peanuts can be used instead of cashews for a stronger peanut flavor.
- Add extra water gradually to avoid making the mixture too wet.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze for longer storage and thaw before serving.
