For a hit of sweet flavour and little extra energy, try these chewy little treats. This will work with any variety of dates, as long as they still have a bit of moisture to them. Otherwise, they’ll be difficult to chop in the food processor. Toasted oats help to bind the dates together and rolling the balls in almond flour helps to reduce their stickiness.
