Add the dates, peanut butter, and honey to the oats and process on high for another 2-3 minutes or until the dough is formed. Scape the sides a few times during the processing time. The dough should be smooth and malleable. If the dough is too wet, add 1-2 tablespoons more of oats. If the dough is too dry add 1-2 teaspoons of water and process again.

Tips and Warnings

  • This post was updated on August 30, 2023.
  • Dates: make sure you use soft dates that are easy to pulverize.
  • Be sure to use a high-speed food processor. Otherwise, the ingredients will not process enough to form a dough.
  • Drippy peanut butter is key to this recipe. We suggest using this Smuckers Natural
  • Creamy Peanut Butter or a similar type of peanut butter. If you do not have drippy peanut butter, you will need to use a few teaspoons of water or melted coconut oil. Feel free to use more peanuts.
