Ingredients
  

  • 6-7 large pitted dates
  • 1 cup gf oats
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Start with adding the pitted date, oats, walnuts, cinnamon and flaxseed into a food processor. Pulse until combined and the nuts and dates are well chopped.
  • Add the chopped ingredients to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the peanut and stir. Then add the rest of the peanut butter and stir until combined. If the mixture feels too dry, add another spoonful of peanut butter.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, roll the mixture into bite sized balls. About 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a small sheet pan or large plate.
  • Place them in the fridge for about 20 minutes to help firm them up. Enjoy the cold or at room temp.

Helpful tips :
  • Adjust the peanut butter as needed.
  • Use soft medjool dates.
  • If they are stiff, soak them in hot water for 5 minutes and then drain well.
