Description
Caramelly dates, rich peanut butter, and whole-food plant-based protein powder combine to make a hearty snack that satisfies the sweet tooth! Vegan, gluten-free, with paleo option.
Ingredients
- 1-½ cup Medjool Dates, Pitted And Roughly Chopped
- ¾ cups Natural Peanut Butter
- ¾ cups Plant-based Protein Powder (see Link For My Recommendation)
- ¼ cups Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
- 1 pinch Sea Salt For Topping
Preparation
Line a baking sheet or large tray with parchment paper.
Toss dates and peanut butter (or any nut butter you choose) into a blender and pulse to combine. Add protein powder, 1/4 cup at a time and continue pulsing to combine everything. You may need to periodically scrape down the sides of the blender to re-incorporate any powder or chunks.
When dough is sticky enough to hold itself together, roll into golfball-sized portions and flatten into 1/2 to 1 inch thick discs (it should make about 16). Place these on the baking sheet/large tray and refrigerate while you prepare the chocolate drizzle.
Microwave chocolate chunks and coconut oil at 30-second intervals until completely melted. Take the sheet/tray out of the fridge and drizzle a spoonful of the melted chocolate over the top of each bite. Sprinkle each with just a touch of sea salt and refrigerate again until chocolate drizzle is solidified.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Take a bite and enjoy!
