Ingredients:

2 tablespoons cacao nibs

2 tablespoons chia seeds

2/3 cup all natural creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

6 large Medjool dates, pitted

1 1/3 cups oats

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 tablespoons water

Equipment:

bowl

food processor

wooden spoon

Cooking instruction summary:

In a large bowl, stir together oats, chia seeds and cacao nibs. Set aside.Add dates and water to the bowl of a food processor and process a few times until dates begin to break down a bit and form a paste. Next add in maple syrup, vanilla and peanut butter; process again until it begins to look like a wet cookie dough and ingredients are well combined.Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. I like to use my hands because it's much easier to get everything mixed well. I know it's a little messy, so my advice is to coat your hands with a small amount of coconut oil so that the dough doesn't stick. Once the ingredients are well combined, form into 1 inch balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Balls will last for 5-7 days or can be frozen for up to a month.

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
