Ingredients:
- 1 cup pitted dates (if dry, soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well)
- 3 Tbsp peanut or almond butter
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp flax seeds (or chia or hemp seeds)
- 2/3 cup dry oatmeal
Directions:
Pulse dates in a food processor or blender until they’re in small pieces.
Add oats, chocolate, flax seeds and peanut butter and pulse or mix until combined. You want there to be consistently small pieces but not overly processed.
Carefully roll into 1-inch balls, using the warmth of your hands to mold them together. Single batch should make 14-15 balls.
To set, pop in fridge or freezer for 15 minutes. Otherwise, eat as is! Energy bites will keep fresh in an air-tight bag or container for up to a week. Freeze for longer term storage. Enjoy!
