Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup pitted dates natural sweetness and binding agent
  • 1 cup protein powder hemp, pumpkin seed, pea, or watermelon seed for variety
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter substitute with any nut or seed butter if preferred
Optional Coating
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate can be replaced with dairy-free chocolate if preferred

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Microwave or Double Boiler

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, add the pitted dates, protein powder, and sunflower seed butter. Pulse until it forms a thick, sticky dough, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Chill for 15 minutes if too sticky.
  3. Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Dip each bite into the chocolate and place back on parchment paper.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
