Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup dates, pitted
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (like almond or peanut butter) Can substitute with other nut butters.
  • 1/4 cup seeds (like chia or flaxseeds) Can substitute with other preferred seeds.
  • 1/2 cup oats Almond flour can be used for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries Can replace with dried pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the pitted dates, nut butter, seeds, oats, dried cranberries, and shredded coconut into a food processor.
  2. Pulse the mixture until everything is combined and has a sticky texture.
  3. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit more nut butter or a splash of water to bind it together.
  4. Roll the sticky mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.
