Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup pitted Medjool dates (about 9)
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- ½ cup peanut butter (make sure it’s made with just peanuts and maybe salt, if you prefer)
- ½ cup toasted peanuts
- ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Add the dates and hot water to a food processor or high-powered blender and blend until a smooth paste or ball forms. Add the peanut butter, toasted peanuts, rolled oats, and cocoa powder.
- Pulse until combined – there should be small bits of peanuts and oats remaining, but not too big. Be careful not to over-process so it doesn’t get too sticky or greasy.
- Roll into balls, about 1-inch across each. You can also press the dough into a small pan and cut into bars if you prefer.
- Store in a sealed bag or small lidded container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for longer term storage.
