Equipment

Food processor

Ingredients

½ cup oats
1 cup dates
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoon almond butter or other nut or seed butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
1 tablespoon water
pinch salt

Instructions

If the dates are on the dry side, soak for 10 minutes in warm water.
Add all the ingredients to your food processor and blend until a thick ball of dough forms. You may need to scrape the sides of the blender down a few times.
Transfer the dough to a bowl and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Either use your hands or a cookie scoop to form small bliss balls.

Notes

If the dates seem dry then place in a bowl of warm water for ten minutes to soften.
If the dough seems too dry then add a touch more water or nut or seed butter to the mixture.
Have a sweet tooth? Add a touch of maple syrup to the mixture!
My low histamine readers should only try the recipe if they know they tolerate dates well, as they are debated in terms of histamine.
