Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend Oats: Add the oats to a food processor and blend briefly to break them down into a grainy consistency.
- Make the Dough: Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until it forms a thick, sticky dough. If it’s not sticking together, add 1 tbsp of warm water and process again.
- Roll: Use your hands to roll the mixture into approximately 20 energy balls. You can use a small cookie scoop to help get them evenly sized. They should be about 1 heaping tablespoon each.
- Serve: You can roll your balls in extra shredded coconut, coconut sugar or drizzle with melted coconut butter to make a “glaze” and enjoy. Store the balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
It’s important to use soft, fresh dates in this recipe. If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes then drain well before using.
Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for best results.
For more carrot cake flavour, add 1/2 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp nutmeg to the mixture.
