Ingredients
- 45 g dates
- 30 g porridge oats
- 8 g cocoa powder
- 20 g peanut butter
Method
- Remove any stones from the dates and chop them very finely. Cover with just-boiled water from the kettle for 5 minutes to soften, then drain well.
- Mash the dates with a fork into a sticky paste, then mix in the peanut butter.
- Add the porridge oats and cocoa powder and work everything together with your hands into a firm, slightly sticky dough. If it is too dry to hold together, add a few drops of water.
- Roll into balls about 3 cm across and set them on a plate.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes until firm. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
