Ingredienser

US Customary - Metric

▢ 1 ½ cup Medjool Datoer - (merknad 1)
▢ ¼ cup Usøtet kakaopulver - (merknad 2)
▢ ½ cup Havregryn - (merknad 3)
▢ ½ cup Valnøtter - (merknad 4)

Valgfritt

▢ ⅓ cup Mørke sjokoladebiter - (merknad 5)
▢ 1 teskje Vaniljeekstrakt

Instruksjoner

In a mixing bowl, add the pitted Medjool dates. Cover with boiled water. Set aside 5 minutes.
Drain the soaked dates over a sieve, and discard the water.
Place softened dates in a food processor with cocoa powder, rolled oats, walnuts, and vanilla, if used.
Process in 30-second bursts, on medium-high speed, stop the food processor, use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, and repeat these steps a few times, until it comes into a sticky, consistent chocolate batter. If a little bit dry, add 1-2 teaspoon water, blend to incorporate.
Add chocolate chips if you like, pulse a few times to incorporate. They add sweetness, and I highly recommend it as the batter has no added sugar apart from the dates.
Lightly oil your hands, and use a tablespoon to scoop out some batter. Roll into ball between your oiled hands.
If you like, roll in unsweetened desiccated coconut, or keep plain.
Place them in a airtight container.

Merknader

Merknader 1: The recipe should work well with any variety of dates. Some are less ‘juicy’ than Medjool and will require a little water to bring the dough together.

Merknader 2: Or cacao powder, or carob powder, but it won’t have a chocolate flavor.

Merknader 3: Or quinoa flakes, or puffed rice for gluten-free options.

Merknader 4: Or other nuts like pecan, walnuts, or seeds like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds.

Merknader 5: Add for sweetness and extra chocolate flavors. The batter is not very sweet without chocolate chips.

OppbevaringOppbevares i kjøleskapet i en lufttett beholder i opptil 7 dager.

Du trenger bare fire enkle ingredienser for å lage denne oppskriften. Slik velger og bytter du dem.

Medjool Datoer – These provide natural sweetness and a sticky binder for the energy balls. You can also use other date varieties, but some might need a little extra water to help the dough come together.
Usøtet kakaopulver – This gives the energy balls their rich chocolate flavor. You can also use cacao powder for a similar taste, or carob powder if you prefer, but it won’t taste like chocolate.
Havregryn – These add bulk and a slight chewiness to the energy balls. Quinoa flakes or puffed rice also work if you’re looking for different textures or gluten-friendly options.
Valnøtter – These contribute a nice crunch and healthy fats to the energy balls. Other nuts like pecans or seeds such as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds are fine too.
Mørke sjokoladebiter – These add extra sweetness and a more intense chocolate taste to the energy balls.

Carines tips

La meg dele noen flere tips til perfekte energiballer.

Juster søthet – If you like your energy balls sweeter, you can pulse in the optional chocolate chips. Alternatively, you can stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and increase the rolled oats to ⅔ cup to account for the added liquid.
Smaksboost – A touch of vanilla extract really brings out the other flavors in these energy balls.
Mutterfritt alternativ – If you need a nut-free snack, swap the walnuts for seeds. Pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, or sunflower seeds work particularly well.
Consistent Balls – For uniformly sized energy balls, use a measuring spoon, like a tablespoon, to scoop out the batter before rolling.
Forhindre klebing – Lightly oiling your hands before rolling the balls will prevent the mixture from sticking to them and make the process much smoother.
Teksturkontroll – If your mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a teaspoon of water at a time and process until it reaches a sticky, workable consistency. If it’s too wet, add a little more rolled oats.
