Ingredients

  • 2 cups pitted dates
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 2 scoops of plant-based protein powder
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • ¼ cup maple syrup - adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Start by processing the dates and walnuts in a food processor until they are finely chopped and start to come together into a sticky mixture.
  • Add the remaining dry ingredients (protein powder, chia seeds, and quick oats) and pulse until well combined.
  • Gradually add the maple syrup while pulsing the mixture. Start with a small amount and add more as needed until the mixture reaches a consistency that allows you to easily form balls.
  • Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. If it's too sticky, you can lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking.
  • Place the energy balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
