Ingredients
  

Brownie Balls
  • 1 cup Medjool Dates Substitution: Soaked Deglet Noor dates work wonderfully if Medjool is hard to find.
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder Note: Use unsweetened cocoa for bite; adjust sweetness to taste for balance.
  • 1/2 cup Nut Butter (e.g., almond or peanut) Substitution: Sunflower or pumpkin seed butter is perfect for nut-free versions.
  • 1/2 cup Nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds) Note: Consider using seeds if you have allergy concerns.
  • 1 cup Oats Substitution: Use fine almond flour for a gluten-free alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Optional Flavorings (e.g., vanilla extract, espresso powder) A dash of salt can enhance the sweetness remarkably.

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by processing your choice of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, in a food processor until finely ground, about 20-30 seconds.
  2. Add the pitted Medjool dates and unsweetened cocoa powder to the processor along with the ground nuts. Pulse until it forms a sticky mass, about 30-45 seconds.
  3. Mix in your preferred nut butter and rolled oats, then pulse again for another 30-45 seconds until well combined and slightly sticky.
  4. Using clean hands, roll small portions of the mixture into bite-sized balls, aiming for well-formed shapes. Moisten hands if mixture is crumbly.
  5. Place the formed balls on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
