Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats, gluten-free
  • 3/4 cup almond meal
  • 1/4 cup vegan protein powder (such as rice, pea or hemp)
  • handful of crystalized ginger, diced
  • 2 cups dates, pitted and soaked in hot water for 10 minutes
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar, plus extra for rolling
  • 2 tsp cinnamon, plus extra for rolling
  • 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp almond essence
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • water, as needed

Directions
  1. Add all dry ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Process until well combined and oats are broken down into a flour-like consistency.
  3. Add in dates (strained) and wet ingredients and process until a sticky ball of dough forms, adding water as necessary to get it to stick together.
  4. Scoop out by the tablespoon and roll into balls between your hands.
  5. Mix an equal amount of coconut sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  6. Roll balls in a mixture of cinnamon and almond meal, or cacao powder and almond meal.

Enjoy! :)
