Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Coconut flakes (optional, for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste-like consistency. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes beforehand and drain thoroughly.
Step 2
Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder, rolled oats, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture comes together into a thick, slightly sticky dough. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 3
Add the dark chocolate chips and pulse a few times to incorporate them into the dough without fully breaking them down.
Step 4
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls between your palms.
Step 5
If desired, roll the balls in coconut flakes for an additional layer of texture and flavor.
Step 6
Place the PB Choco Date Balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 7
Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
