- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 3 pitted dates
- 2 tbsp coconut oil- at room temperature
- 1 tbsp flax seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tsp raw honey
- 1 heaping scoop vanilla protein powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Begin by pulsing the dates in your food processor until they are slightly broken up. Add in the rest of the ingredients and pulse repeatedly until a dough comes together. Pinch a small piece between your fingers; if it sticks together we’re in business, if it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more coconut oil.
Line a large Tupperware or Pyrex container with parchment paper. Scoop out the ball of dough and press it down as much as you can with your fingers. It will start to get melty, so work quickly. I like using another piece of parchment paper on top then pressing with a potato masher to get it really firm.
Freeze for 1 hour. Lift the now solid dough out using the edges of the parchment paper, and cut into eight pieces. Return to the fridge for a tasty snack this week!
