Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 8 pieces medjool dates (pitted)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, pitted medjool dates, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture comes together into a sticky, slightly chunky dough. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 2
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips using a spatula to evenly incorporate them.
Step 3
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 4
If desired, roll each ball in unsweetened shredded coconut to coat the outside for added flavor and texture.
Step 5
Place the snack balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all balls are rolled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 6
Store the snack balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
