My peanut butter date balls are a tasty, protein packed snack made with simple and wholesome ingredients. I love that these date energy balls are naturally sweetened, vegan, gluten free, and easy to take anywhere. I can also swap the peanut butter for any nut or seed butter, which makes them easy to customize in many different ways. The best part is that I can have them ready in just 1 hour.

Place the oats in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely ground.
Add dates, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, almond butter, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon and process until finely ground and slightly sticking together (it will form a loose batter).
Transfer batter to a large bowl.
Using a small cookie scoop, take about 2-3 teaspoons of the dough and press firmly for the mixture to stick together. To form a ball shape, you'll need to both press it between your hands and then slightly roll it into little cocoa balls. Do not start by rolling the batter in your hands to form a ball, it will fall apart. First make sure to press it firmly with your fingers/hands until it binds together, kind of like if you were playing with play-dough.
Place remaining cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll truffles in cocoa powder and chill until ready to serve (I chilled mine for about one hour).
