Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 dates pitted
- 1 cup oats
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2-3 tbsp milk or water
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, oats, peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture begins to come together. Gradually add milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until you reach a soft, dough-like consistency. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the mini chocolate chips. Roll into balls and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjusting Consistency: Slowly add in the milk or water, one tablespoon at a time. The mixture should come together into a soft, dough-like consistency. If it's too wet, it will be sticky and harder to roll into balls—add a few more oats if needed.
- Chilling for Best Texture: For the best texture, chill the rolled balls in the fridge for at least 20–30 minutes before serving to help them firm up.
- Storage: Store cookie dough balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
