Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 15 dates, pitted and chopped

  • 1 cup oat flour

  • ½ cup whey protein powder

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ¾ cup chopped pecans, divided

  • ¾ cup shredded coconut, divided

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon water, or more as needed

  • 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Place dates in a bowl and add boiling water to cover. Let soak for 10 minutes. Strain dates and discard the water.

  2. Blend oat flour, protein powder, and cocoa powder in a food processor until well combined. Add dates, 1/2 cup pecans, 1/2 cup coconut, vanilla, and salt. Pulse to combine, adding water as needed, to get a soft dough consistency.
