Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Medjool dates pitted
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup nut butter like peanut or almond
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips optional
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Soak dates in warm water for 5–10 minutes to soften, then drain.
  • Add dates, oats, and nut butter to a food processor. Blend until smooth and dough-like.
  • Transfer to a bowl and stir in chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt if using.
  • Roll dough into bite-sized balls. Chill for 15–30 minutes to set.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for later.

Notes

  • These fruit-sweetened no-bake cookie dough bites are super freezer-friendly—just store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Let them thaw for a few minutes before enjoying.
  • You can swap peanut butter with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini for allergy-friendly versions.
  • If your dates feel dry, soaking them in warm water really helps with blending and sweetness.
  • Want extra nutrition? Stir in ground flax, chia seeds, or a scoop of protein powder to make these bites even more of a healthy no-bake snack.
