This recipe was super fun to make with our kids! During quarantine with our family, we’ve made this recipe at least three times now! I have a HUGE sweet tooth and need a little bite of something sweet after dinner and these are the perfect thing. They’re full of healthy fats, protein and fiber so I felt good about letting my little one indulge too.
Ingredients
1 cup oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup coconut flakes
3 dates
1 cup cereal
3/4 cup chocolate chips
2 tbsp chia or flax
a dash of cinnamon
Freeze for 10 minutes then roll into balls and keep on your counter or fridge in an airtight container!

It’s simple and very adaptable so you can add ingredients you have in your pantry! There’s just something about peanut butter and chocolate that makes me giddy…
If you haven’t had DaVall Honey dates from our local famers market, you must! They are like candy. Dates also contain many health benefits! You’d never guess since they’re so tasty. They can actually regulate blood sugar, they contain antioxidants, are high in fiber, have potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6 and the list goes on. Dates are a great way to add some vitamins and minerals and sweetness while baking.
All you have to do is combine all ingredients in a bowl and find the consistency you like. This may take a batch or two until you find the “stickiness” you’re looking for. The coconut oil and nut butter make it a little runny at first but popping them in the freezer helps bring them together. I put them in the freezer then shaped them into balls and kept them in the fridge.
