Innehållsförteckning

US Customary - metrisk

▢ 1 ½ kopp Medjool-datum - (anteckning 1)
▢ ¼ kopp Osötat kakaopulver - (anteckning 2)
▢ ½ kopp Havregryn - (anteckning 3)
▢ ½ kopp Valnötter - (anteckning 4)

Instruktioner

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.

Anmärkningar

Anmärkningar 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.

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

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

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

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

Du behöver bara fyra enkla ingredienser för att laga det här receptet. Så här väljer och byter du ut dem.

Medjool-datum – 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.
Osötat 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.
Valnötter – 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.
Mörk chokladflis – These add extra sweetness and a more intense chocolate taste to the energy balls.

Carines tips

Låt mig dela med mig av några fler tips för perfekta energibollar.

Justera sötma – 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.
Smakboost – A touch of vanilla extract really brings out the other flavors in these energy balls.
Nötfritt 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.
Förhindra fastklistring – Lightly oiling your hands before rolling the balls will prevent the mixture from sticking to them and make the process much smoother.
Texturkontroll – 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.
