Instructions

  1. Place a few dates into a food processor at a time and blend until a paste forms.
  2. Place date paste, oats, hemp seeds, and flavours (either chocolate chips and vanilla, OR, lemon zest and blueberries, OR, cinnamon and raisins) into a large bowl. Mix by hand until all ingredients are well blended. Place bowl in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to make mixture easier to handle.
  3. Roll mixture into 15-20 balls. I found using 2 tablespoons of mixture made the right size of bite for my preference.
