Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanuts, roasted and unsalted
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates, tightly packed (~15 dates)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste // check if your PB is already quite salted)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor.
- Process ingredients until a sticky mixture is formed. The mixture should be pinch-able, so you can roll it into balls. If it’s feeling too dry and crumbly, add 1-2 tbsp water and process again for about 20 seconds.
- Roll the dough into 15 balls. Enjoy!
Notes
- Be sure to remove the pits from your medjool dates.
- The energy balls are best stored in an airtight container. Store at room temperature and enjoy within 3 days. If saving for later, keep stored in the refrigerator or freezer. They keep for 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 3 months in the freezer.
