👩🍳 Instructions:
- Soften the dates: If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes and drain.
- Blend: Add dates, oats, nut butter, seeds, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is sticky and holds together.
- Roll: Scoop out small portions and roll into balls (about 1 inch).
- Coat (optional): Roll in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts.
- Chill: Place in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm up. Then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days (or freeze for longer!).
🌰 Variations:
- 🍌 Add mashed banana for extra moisture and flavor
- 🍫 Stir in some dark chocolate chips (still no added sugar if using unsweetened!)
- 🍓 Mix in dried fruit bits like cranberries or apricots
- ☕ Add a dash of espresso powder for a little mocha kick
