Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces pitted Medjool dates
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and blend until they form a sticky paste. If the dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and then drain before processing.
Add the natural peanut butter, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, unsweetened shredded coconut, vanilla extract, sea salt, and water to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and form a thick dough. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor and blend again to ensure everything is mixed.
Using a small scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Wet hands slightly to prevent sticking if necessary.
Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Transfer the set energy balls to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen for longer storage.
