Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups oat flour
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.33 cup creamy natural almond butter well-stirred
  • 10 pieces soft Medjool dates
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons water plus more as needed

Add-Ins

  • 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a food processor, place the oat flour, walnuts, almond butter, dates, vanilla, water, and salt. Pulse until the mixture sticks together when pinched. If it’s too crumbly, pulse in more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop and roll into balls.
  • Store extra date balls in the fridge. They also freeze well. To thaw, leave them at room temperature until soft.

Notes

Look for creamy almond butter with a smooth consistency to make this recipe, not the dry, stiff stuff that you might find at the bottom of a jar. If your dates are hard, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes.
