Here’s another super easy recipe for delicious raw 2-ingredient energy balls. They are completely vegan and great for those who want to enjoy some healthy sweet truffles, but don’t want to eat nuts and fats.
The best part about this recipe is that it requires no machines and the only ingredients you need are dates and oats or oat flour, as well as a fork.
Optionally, you can add nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, other dried fruit or cocoa powder in the mixture, but those 2 ingredients work perfectly fine for this recipe.
Energy balls with oat flour
1 cup of dates
Some drinking water
2 cups of oat flour or grounded oats
Cinnamon, cocoa or cacao powder – optional
Tahini or peanut butter - optional
Energy balls with whole oats
1 cup of dates
Some drinking water
2 cups of oats
Cinnamon, cocoa or cacao powder – optional
Tahini or peanut butter - optional
Energy balls with oat flour
Soak your dates in water for a few hours. Then, take the dates out from the water and mash them with a fork. I usually like adding a spoon of tahini, because I think it makes the mashed dates smoother, but this is completely optional. If you want, you can add some cocoa or cacao powder, or some cinnamon and mix it well.
Add the oats flour little by little and continue mixing everything well. The mixture is ready when it stops looking like dates puree and starts looking more like dough that you can shape. Make small balls out of this mixture. Their size depends on your preference.
Keep some oat flour and roll the energy balls in it. Keep them in a refrigerator for a few hours, although you can eat them straight away. However, the more they stay in the fridge, the better they taste.
Energy balls with whole oats
Soak your dates in water for a few hours. Take them out of the water and mash them, but this time keep the water as well, we’ll use it later.
If you want, add some condiments and tahini to your mashed dates and mix everything well. Then, add the oats little by little while mixing. You’ll notice that since the oats are a bit dry, the mixture doesn’t stay that solid this time. Add a bit of the date water and you’ll see that this mixture starts looking more like dough too.
Shape some balls. This time you don’t have to roll the balls into grounded oats. They may look a bit mushy, but after a few hours in the fridge, they’ll become perfect.
