Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond butter
- 8 Medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the rolled oats into a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse until they are finely ground but not powdery.
Step 2
Add almond butter, pitted Medjool dates, chia seeds, your choice of honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 3
Blend all the ingredients on a high setting until the mixture becomes quite smooth and clumps together. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well mixed.
Step 4
If you are adding mini chocolate chips, mix them into the dough by hand after the main mixture is blended to avoid them getting completely blended.
Step 5
Use a small scoop or your hands to form the mixture into balls of about 1 inch in diameter. Ensure they are packed tightly so they hold together well.
Step 6
Place the bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or container that will fit in your refrigerator.
Step 7
Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
