Date and Peanut Butter Balls
One of my favourite and easy go to snack is these energising Peanut Butter Balls. These Date and Peanut Butter Balls are also a favourite of my kids who love to make them in the blender because they are fun to make too.
Ingredients
- 24 Medjool Dates
- 40 g Pecans lightly toasted in a dry pan
- 140 g Peanuts roasted, salted
- 160 g Smooth Peanut Butter I use Pip and Nut or make my own
- 6 tablespoon Oats
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adjust if this feels like too much to you
Instructions
- Add the dates to a blender/processor and blend until they form a paste.
- Add the remaining ingredients and pulse till combined.
- Measure out a tablespoon of mixture and roll into a ball. Continue until all the mixture is used up.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes and gobble up. Store remaining balls in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- These date and peanut butter balls keep well in the fridge in an airtight container, for 4-5 days. Remove them from the fridge an hour before you plan on serving them. You can also freeze them in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
- If your dates are not soft, you will need to soak them in water for around 10 minutes.
- This recipe is one I adapted from a mixture of a Deliciously Ella recipe and a recipe mentioned in the comment section of Minimalist Bakers website - On her Peanut Butter Cup Energy Bites. (I had my binoculars out that day, clearly).
