Servings: 16
Ingredients:
14 whole, pitted dates
1/2 cup dry-roasted salted peanuts (or any type of peanut, salted or unsalted - your preference)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Equipment:
food processor
blender
Cooking instruction summary:
First, make sure your dates are soft. You may soak them in warm water (and drain them) for 15 minutes before putting into the food processor or blender. OR you may chop them up into very small pieces so they blend easily.Put all of your ingredients into the blender or food processor, in the order listed, and blend for 4-5 minutes or until a thick oily “dough” ball is formed. The dough will be oily from the seeds and nuts. You will have to scrape down the sides of the blender/food processor a few times to get all of the dry ingredients to the bottom. Once a dough is formed, scoop the dough (about 1 Tablespoon each) and roll into a smooth ball with your hands.If rolling into cocoa powder, coconut, etc: spread rolling ingredients onto a plate and roll the moist dough ball around to fully cover. Store bites in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
