What You’ll Need

This recipe is so simple and you probably already have those ingredients at home.

• 5 oz of unsalted almonds
• 10 dates pitted
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 oz oat
• 1.5 oz unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp peanut butter (or any nut butter)
• a pinch of salt

How To Make Them

1. We put the almonds in a food processor and grind them until they become very finely ground.

2. We add the cocoa, salt, oats, and beat again to homogenize the mixture.

3. We add the dates and the nut butter and beat a little more.

4. If the mixture looks dry and doesn't mold, we add a little water (1 tablespoon), and if it is too wet, we add a little oats.

5. We put a little more cocoa on a plate, mold into small balls, and cover them with the cocoa. We either enjoy them directly or put them in the refrigerator for later. We can keep them in the refrigerator for about a week and get our daily boost when we need it!
