Author: Cultivator Kitchen
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 15 large medjool dates, pitted and halved
- 1 cup gluten-free old fashioned oats
- 3 tbsps raw cacao powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsps maple syrup
- ¼ cup raw almond butter
Instructions
- Put the dry ingredients then the wet ingredients in the food processor.
- Pulse or blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute till combined. The mixture will be crumbly but press together easily between your fingers.
- Roll into balls.
Notes
If the mixture is too dry and doesn't press together easily, pulse in ½ tsp water. The mixture shouldn't be too wet because you want a cake-like texture, if too wet they will be sticky.
If you can't have almond butter try coconut butter or tahini instead.
These store for 2-3 days on the counter in a sealed container or for about 5 days if kept in the fridge.
