Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz medjool dates
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup goji berries
  • 1/4 cup peptitas
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbs chia seeds
  • 2 Tbs ground flaxseed
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 cups oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder see recipe notes for alternatives

Instructions
 

  • Make date paste. See Date Paste recipe. 
  • When processing the dates, add goji berries and process with dates. 
  • Process oats and pepitas in blender or food processor for finer texture (optional).
  • Add all ingredients together in large bowl (or stand mixer) and combine thoroughly.
  • Form into balls of desired size (this is really fun for kids to do!)
  • Dust with cocoa powder (see recipe notes for alternatives)

Notes

We've also used chocolate protein powder, or you could try oat flour. The cocoa powder is slightly bitter, which I think contrasts nicely with the sweet dates, but some may prefer an alternative.
