Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 20 bites

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup instant oats I used GF, organic
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder I used Equip Foods
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter Natural (with no added oils) works best
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, finely chopped
  • 3-4 tbsp water I used water the dates soak in
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 generous dashes ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Instructions
 

  • Soak dates in a small bowl of hot water for 10 min to soften. While dates soften, add oats to a food processor and pulse into a rough flour-like consistency. Add to a large mixing bowl with remaining ingredients.
  • Once dates have softened, transfer to a food processor and blend into a paste. Add in 2-3 tbsp of water as needed.
  • Transfer date paste to the mixing bowl and use a spoon or spatula to combine everything into a cohesive mixture. If mixture if too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of water at a time; if it’s too wet, add in 1-2 tbsp of oats at a time.
  • Allow mix to sit in the fridge for 20 min to firm up. This step is optional but makes it easier to roll.
  • Remove bowl from fridge and use hands to roll mixture into small 1” size bites. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
