I got this recipe from a friend and changed it up a bit because I wanted some crunch to it. You can omit the sunflower seeds and the flax seeds if you prefer. In that case, you would want to reduce the peanut butter to 3 tbsps. They are an easy, delicious, no cook treat! This is a vegan recipe.
In a food processor, grind 1/2 cup dried pitted dates, chopped.
add in the following:
1/4 cup oats
1/4 cup hulled sunflower seeds
1/4 cup dried coconut
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp cinnamon
4 heaping Tbs. peanut butter
dash of vanilla
tiny dash of salt
mix in the food processor for a minute or two until everything is well ground and mixed together.
turn into a bowl and stir in another 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds
roll into balls, whatever size you like (you will get about 20 or so one inch balls)
sprinkle 2 heaping tbsps golden roasted milled flax seed onto a plate; roll the balls in the flax seed to coat and place them on a serving plate
chill for a little bit, or eat at room temperature.
