0.75 packed cup pitted dates
0.5 cup (68 g) almond butter- 1 tsp (4 g) cinnamon
1 tsp (5 g) vanilla extract- 1 pinch salt
1 cup (99 g) rolled oats- 0.5 cup (74 g) raisins
Cookware¶
- 1 food processor
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
Add pitted dates (Medjool or Deglet Noor), almond butter (or peanut butter), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until the dates break down into a thick paste.
Step 2¶
Add rolled oats and raisins (regular or golden) and pulse a few times until combined. The mixture should be slightly coarse and hold together when squeezed in your hand. If it's too dry, add a little more almond butter and pulse again.
Step 3¶
Scoop about 1.5 Tbsp of the mixture into your hand. Squeeze it firmly a few times until it sticks together, then gently roll it into a ball. Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
