Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of pitted dates
- 1/2 cup of raw almonds
- 1/2 cup of rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of vanilla protein powder (I prefer Vega)
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by placing the pitted dates in a food processor and pulse until they become a sticky paste.
- Next, add the raw almonds and pulse until they are finely chopped.
- Add in the rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, protein powder, salt, and cinnamon to the mixture in the food processor. Pulse until everything is well combined.
- If the mixture appears too dry, add a small amount of water (1-2 tablespoons) to help bind everything together.
- Once the mixture is well combined and holds together, use your hands to roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Store the protein date balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
