No-bake PB Cookie Energy Bites

250 g medjool dates (~14 dates as recipe is written, measured after pitting // if dry, soak in warm water for 15 minutes, then drain and pat dry)

24 g organic cacao or cocoa powder (or sub carob for chocolate-free / caffeine-free)

32 - 48 g peanut butter (or sub other nut or seed butter — results may vary)

23 g rolled oats (if grain-free, try subbing chopped roasted nuts like peanuts or almonds)

1 pinch sea salt

⅛ tsp vanilla extract

To a food processor add pitted dates, cocoa or cacao powder, peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter), rolled oats, salt, and vanilla (optional).
Pulse until the mixture is well blended and starts to clump together (~30 seconds - 1 minute). If it’s too dry or crumbly and it doesn’t stick together when pressed between two fingers, add more nut butter or pitted dates.
Scoop out 1 ½ Tbsp amounts and gently roll into balls.
Enjoy immediately or store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer up to 1 month.
