Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Oats
  • 1 cup Dates pitted
  • ¾ cup Pistachios
  • ½ cup Peanut Butter
  • ¼ cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • ¼ cup Coconut shredded
  • 2 tablespoon Flaxseed ground

Instructions
 

  • Place ¼ cup of the pistachios into the food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and set them aside on a plate.
  • Add the remaining ½ cup of pistachios and all of the other ingredients to the food processor and pulse until well combined.
  • Add 2 tablespoon warm water and pulse again. Place mixture onto a plate.
  • Form the mixture into 1 inch balls and roll them in the chopped pistachios to coat.
  • Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill for 2 hours before serving and store up to 7 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Rub the pistachios between your fingers to remove any loose skins prior to processing.
  • Using damp hands will help you to form the balls more easily.
  • Don't have a food processor? No problem! You can chop the pistachios by hand and mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. It will just take a little longer.
  • Feel free to substitute any of the ingredients with some of your own favorites.
  • This recipe will make about 20 balls.
Enjoy!
