Power Balls


recipe from www.lifeasaplate.com

What you need:

  • 10 pitted dates
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp nut/seed butter
  • 1/2 c. finely chopped nuts
  • 1/4 c. unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp dark mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4-1/2 c. dried fruit
  • 1 egg

What you do:

  1. Pulse or finely chop the nuts.
  2. In a food processor or blender, add the dates and turn on high. Once the dates turn to small pieces, drizzle in the honey. This will make a paste.
  3. Add the date paste, nuts, and the remaining ingredients to a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  4. The mixture will be wet so form into balls as best as you can and place on parchment.
  5. Bake at 250 for 35-40 minutes. Slow and steady.
