Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup pitted dates*
- 3 Tbsp. almond butter (can sub with another nut butter)
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
- 1 scoop of your favourite chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add oats to food processor or blender and pulse until they reach the consistency of flour.
- Add dates, almond butter, and honey, and continue processing until well combined. You will probably need to scrape down the sides of your processor and add a few teaspoons of water to get things moving. Add water sparingly, as adding too much will make the dough too sticky.
- Add cocoa and protein powder and continue processing until fully combined.
- Transfer dough to a small bowl and add chocolate chips, mixing by hand until well incorporated. Use a tablespoon to divide dough into 12 equal portions, rolling each portion into a ball. Place bites in fridge for ~20 minutes to allow them to set.**
Notes
* If your dates are a little dry, soak them in a bowl of water a few hours prior to making. Doing so will make them easier to process.
** Bites are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They are also wonderful when frozen.
