Ingredients

• 1 cup jumbo rolled oats (gluten-free if required)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (we love ManiLife)
• 12 dates (PACK'D frozen dates), thawed in hot water
• Pinch of salt (if your peanut butter doesn't contain any)

Method

1. Add all the ingredients, including the jumbo rolled oats, chia seeds, smooth peanut butter, thawed dates, and a pinch of salt if needed, to a food processor.
2. Pulse until all the ingredients are well combined. You should end up with a thick, sticky mixture.
3. Now, it's time to get your hands a little messy, but with a delicious payoff! Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into 15 bite-sized balls. Feel free to adjust the size according to your preference.
4. While you can certainly enjoy these peanut butter date balls right away, they're even better after a little chill time. Place them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week. Chilling helps them firm up and enhances the flavours.

The combination of smooth, creamy peanut butter, and sweet sticky dates is simply irresistible. The addition of oats and chia seeds adds that all important fibre, creating a delicious, guilt-free nibble!
