I loved these simply because of the crunch they have from the Buckwheat Groats. Super simple and easy to digest. I think these are perfect for before or after a workout or a simple snack in the middle of the day. I used fresh dates from the Farmer’s Market and the taste was perfect, not too sweet not too plane. Dates have a bunch of magnesium, B vitamins, iron, zinc and more. I played with adding both almond and peanut butter and think the taste was perfect. Happy Snacking!
· ½ cup Almond Butter
· ½ cup Peanut Butter
· 1 cup Organic Gluten Free Oats
· 1 cup Buckwheat Groats (soaked for 20-30 minutes then dried)
· 2/3 cup dates (soak in warm water for 10 minutes to soften)
· 2 tbsp. hemp seeds
· 2 tbsp. chia seeds
· 2 tsp cinnamon
· 1 tbsp. coconut oil
In food processor add soaked then drained dates and place on medium to high speed to chop up. Next, add all the other ingredients to the food processor and blend until well incorporated. Once dough looks thoroughly mixed start to roll dough into little bite size balls. Place balls in glass-lock Tupperware in refrigerator. Balls stay good for up to 1 week in refrigerator or 2 weeks in freezer. Enjoy !
