Servings: 9 balls
Calories: 98.7kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool Dates (note 1) about 12-14 pitted medjool dates
- ⅔ cup Rolled Oats (note 2)
- ⅓ cup Almonds (note 3)
Optional flavors ideas
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
- Place the Medjool dates in a bowl and cover with water. Place a lid on top of the bowl. Set aside 5 minutes.
- Drain the pitted Medjool dates over a sieve. Press them gently in your hand to remove any water. Place them into the bowl of a food processor with the S-blade attachment.
- Add the almonds, oats, and any of the optional ingredients for extra flavors.
- Blend at high speed until it comes together into a sticky dough - it usually takes about 1 minute.
- Stop the food processor, scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough, and roll the dough in your hand to form a ball. If your batter is a bit dry or doesn't stick well, blend the batch again before rolling and add 1 teaspoon of water into the bowl of the food processor, blend again to combine, and then form balls.
- Roll into 9 date balls.
Notes
Note 1: I haven't tried other date varieties, but I am sure they will work well.
Note 2: Or quick oats. Feel free to use gluten-free certified oats if needed.
Note 3: Or any nuts, like pecans, walnuts, or even seeds like hemp seeds for a high-protein option, or sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
Storage: Store in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
