How to Make Irresistible Date Energy Balls

  • Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet or oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
  • Soak the pitted dates in warm water for 2-3 minutes if firm, then drain.
  • Blend toasted walnuts, oat flour, almond butter, soaked dates, vanilla, salt, and ground cinnamon until crumbly yet sticky.
  • If too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time until the right consistency is reached.
  • Gently stir in the chocolate chips by hand until evenly mixed.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion and roll into balls, keeping hands cold to avoid sticking.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
