Ingredients For This Recipe

See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!

• Dates – dates add natural sweetness to recipes, and have a fantastic flavor! I’ve been adding dates to everything lately (smoothies especially) – I buy dates by the box and add them to treat, desserts, and just enjoy them as a snack with nut butter.
• Rolled Oats: I used old fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. They hold up a bit better than quick cooking oats, so I would recommend old fashioned or rolled oats for these.
• Peanut Butter: I use an unsalted peanut butter in all my recipes, so I can control the amount of salt and sugar. I like natural peanut butter as there is no added palm oil too.

How To Make This Recipe

1. Soak dates in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes before starting. This will allow the dates to absorb some water and soften a bit. Drain after soaking.
2. In a food processor, add the drained dates, rolled oats, and peanut butter. Start processing on low speed and work up to high speed. You want the date and oats to be finely chopped.
3. Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Repeat until all the dough is finished.
4. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before enjoying!
