Servings: 19 1-tablespoon balls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates see note
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter plus more if needed
  • 2/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • You’ll need to use a food processor, blender or chopper to mix up these energy balls
  • Add dates to unit and pulse to chop up. Add salt and vanilla and pulse to mix in.
  • Add peanut butter and oats and continue to mix, stopping and scraping the bowl a few times.
  • Add the chocolate chips last and pulse until mixed in. Test to see if mixture will hold together when pressed with your hand. If needed mix in another 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter.
  • Use a tablespoon measuring spoon or cookie scoop to scoop out 1 tablespoon portions. Squeeze the portion in your hand to help it hold together, then roll into a ball.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple days or refrigerate for up to a week.

Notes

The dates need to be soft and fresh for them to chop up nicely. (and to hold together in the ball shape.)  If your dates are a little dried out, you can pour some hot water over them for about 10 minutes to rehydrate them.  Drain well before using.  There will be a little extra moisture in the recipe if doing this.  If it seems too moist, you can mix in a little more of the oats.  (Start with 1 tablespoon.)
I used about 10 medjool dates to make the 1 cup (I had to take the pits out of them.)
