Servings 9
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free oats
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 8 large pitted Medjool dates
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup dairy-free milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the gluten-free oats, vanilla protein powder, pitted Medjool dates, peanut butter, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract to a food processor.
- Blend until a thick cookie dough forms, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon more milk. If it seems overly sticky, add 2 tablespoons oats and blend again.
- Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture and help the dough firm up.
- Scoop into 3 tablespoon portions, roll into bites, or enjoy by the spoonful.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for the best texture.
