Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Coconut flakes (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste-like consistency. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes beforehand and drain thoroughly.
Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder, rolled oats, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture comes together into a thick, slightly sticky dough. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Add the dark chocolate chips and pulse a few times to incorporate them into the dough without fully breaking them down.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls between your palms.
If desired, roll the balls in coconut flakes for an additional layer of texture and flavor.
Place the PB Choco Date Balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
