If you love peanut butter and chocolate as much as I do, here is a quick and easy recipe you can tailor to your own tastes. This simple snack takes only minutes to make, and it is packed with nutrition and energy. Enjoy!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup Natural peanut butter
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 8 dates (pitted)
  • 1 Tablespoon flax seeds (or other seeds of your choice)
Instructions
  1. Place oats and flax seeds into a food processor and grind until smooth. (I find this works really well in my NutriBullet) Pour into bowl of a stand mixer.
  2. Place dates into food processor (or NutriBullet) and grind until smooth. Add this to the oats and seeds in the stand mixer.
  3. Add peanut butter to the stand mixer. Mix on low until all ingredients are combined well. Add the chocolate chips.
  4. Using a Tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and roll into a ball. Makes about 14-17 balls.
  5. Store in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Feel free to add additional ingredients such as shredded coconut, nuts, and seeds to your liking. Enjoy!
