Ingredients

  • 20 dates pitted
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup oats rolled
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds

  • Put drained dates, oats, and peanut butter in a food processor.  Combine till smooth.
  • Form the mixture into 1-inch balls.  Roll the balls in a small bowl of hemp seeds so that they stick to the outside.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 12-15 balls, easily double the recipe.
  • These peanut butter energy balls will last about a week in the refrigerator.
  • Roll in chia seeds instead of hemp seeds.
