Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup soft medjool or araya dates*, pitted
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (certified gluten free, if needed)
- 1/4 cup raw, shelled pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (<< this is the one I use!)
- Optional, but recommended: 1 1/2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
-
- In a food processor or high powered blender, pulse together dates, oats and pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, and vanilla protein powder until uniform consistency forms and a ball forms. You may need to pause to scrap down the sides of the processor/blender several times to achieve the desired result. The “dough” will be sticky, but not super wet.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl and mix in rainbow sprinkles, if desired.
- Roll “dough” into 1-inch balls and place on wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
*If dates are not soft, soak in warm water for about 10 minutes prior to making.
