Ingredients

• 1 cup nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, or any combination of them)

• 1 cup oats

• 1 cup dates

• 1/4-1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

• 2 tbsp honey (or agave or maple syrup if vegan)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional add ins

• dried fruit

• other nuts or seeds

• cinnamon

• protein powder

Directions

1. Add nuts, oats, dates, honey, and vanilla extract to a food processor

2. Blend until all ingredients are chopped finely and can be formed into a ball. If the mixture seems dry, add water 1 tbsp at a time. Depending on the honey and dates you use, you may need up to 3 tbsp of water to make the mixture form balls.

3. Stir in chocolate chips.

4. Wet hands (trust me, otherwise the mixture will stick like crazy to your hands) and form balls. It makes about 15.

5. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
