Peanut Butter-Oat Energy Balls

These are similar to peanut butter balls my mom used to make at Xmas (they were dipped in chocolate). These were easy but cleanup is a bit messy lol. I used disposable kitchen gloves and a greased small scoop to create the balls. Doesn’t make too many (12) and that’s probably a good thing (hehe). I will make them again as I expect they’ll be a hit.

Lessons learned while working with dates for the first time: 1. Dates have seeds that need to be removed prior to use. 2. Read list of ingredients carefully for detail about dates being chopped prior to adding to the food processor. Then refer back to number 1. I had an interesting time making these since I missed the above details. They are tasty and I will make again but with experience on my side. Hope this gave you a good laugh too!

We loved these, it was a Great snack, everyone loved them and so easy to make. But always spray one hand with Pam spray and rub hands together before rolling into balls because very sticky. Good healthy snack. If allergic to peanuts not for you, be safe and ask first

Love the natural sweet from dates

It’s delicious. Rolling the balls is a sticky mess. I recommend using two spoons or greasing your hands. 🤔
