Prep Time15 minutes

Servings: 25 balls

Ingredients

  • 150 g fresh/soft dates (pitted)
  • 1 can (230g) chickpeas
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
  • ½ cup oat flour (GF if necessary)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • ½ tsp maca powder (optional)

Instructions

  • Pit the dates.
  • Add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until a dough forms. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.*
  • I use a big scoop for each ball, but you can make them smaller or larger depending on how you like them best. Enjoy!
  • Keep in the fridge for up to a week or a month in the freezer.

Notes

* it is possible to mix it by hand using a fork to mash the chickpeas and dates and then stir in the rest of the ingredients. It will take you a bit longer and more effort, but is doable.
