Super Quick Breakfast ENERGY Balls

Written By Claire Dallimore

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup oats

• 7 dates 

• ½ tsp vanilla 

• 1 tablespoon milk 

• 2 tablespoons nut butter 

• ½ tsp cinnamon 

Optional: 

• You can add chopped nuts or seeds to the dough.

• You can also add chocolate chips. (I would recommend chopping them up.)

Instructions: 

1. On a cutting board add 6 dates and chop into small pieces.

2. Add the chopped dates, oats, and cinnamon to a medium bowl. 

3. In a microwave safe bowl add the last date with the milk and put into the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute (depending on your microwave) the mixture may come out a little chunky looking, that's okay! 

4. To the warm mixture add vanilla and nut butter. Mix together to create a soft paste-like consistency.

5. Finally combine the soft paste with the oat mixture. It should be slightly crumbly.

6. Form into small balls and enjoy!

Tip: If you are struggling to form the mixture into balls add a “splash” of milk.
