Easy 5-ingredient Oat Balls
Raw sesame seeds, coconut, dates, and oats wrapped into these easy soft and chewy no-bake balls. A superb healthy whole food snack or dessert!
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (80 g) quick oats, heaping
- 24 (150 g) regular pitted dates, or 1 heaping cup
- ½ cup (40 g) shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup (60 g) raw whole sesame seeds, heaping
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- ⅓ cup (100 ml) water, + 1 tbsp
Instructions
- Put the dates and water in a food processor and blend for several minutes until smooth paste forms.
- Then, add the other ingredients to the processor. Blend until well combined. Let the mixture aside for 10 mins so the oats moisten a bit.
- Take about a full teaspoon of the mixture and roll into small balls.
- Roll each ball in coconut shreds or sesame seeds and enjoy!
Notes
- When the dates are a bit drier and I soak them in warm water for 10 mins. They become softer, juicier, and easier to chop. Also, you can use the water they were soaked in for the recipe.
- If the batter is a bit dry, you can add a small amount of water, one tablespoon at a time, until it sticks together well.
