- ¾ cup nuts I used walnuts
- ½ cup organic natural creamy peanut butter crunchy or smooth
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup flaked unsweetened coconut
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 3 TBS water or more as needed
Instructions
- In bowl of food processor add the pitted dates, nuts and coconut.
- Process until nuts have broken down into small pieces and mixture is sticky.
- Add in oats, peanut butter and flaxseed ; process until mixture comes together, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time towards the end.
- The mixture may feel crumbly, but should be moist and hold together once formed into balls.
- Add a little bit of water and continue to process if needed.
- Using a tablespoon size cookie scoop, shape mixture into balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Coat in your choice of toppings. I used melted dark chocolate and unsweetened shredded coconut. Or you can leave them plain.
- Place baking sheet in freezer for 20 minutes before transferring to container of your choice.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in fridge up to two weeks, freeze up to three months.
