Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 8 pieces medjool dates (pitted)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, pitted medjool dates, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture comes together into a sticky, slightly chunky dough. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips using a spatula to evenly incorporate them.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
If desired, roll each ball in unsweetened shredded coconut to coat the outside for added flavor and texture.
Place the snack balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all balls are rolled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Store the snack balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
