Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 8 Medjool dates
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut (optional, unsweetened)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1 cup of cooked chickpeas, 8 Medjool dates (pitted), 4 tablespoons of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of cacao powder, with optional 2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract ready for blending.
- Blend the Mixture: Add the chickpeas, dates, cacao powder, peanut butter, and optional coconut flakes (and vanilla extract if using) into a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and forms a moldable dough.
- Mold the Bites: Take the dough out and shape it into your preferred bite-sized shapes such as balls or small squares.
- Finish and Serve: Optionally, decorate the bites with melted chocolate, a dusting of cacao powder, or sprinkle with coconut flakes. Serve immediately or refrigerate to firm up.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for the best flavor and texture since they are naturally softer and sweeter.
- Measure all ingredients accurately to ensure the dough is easily moldable and holds together well.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
