Ingredients

Ingredients for 12 servings:

• ½ cup oats
• ½ cup raw unsalted pumpkin seeds
• 12 dates
• 2 tablespoon chia seeds
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ginger powder
• ⅓ teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 – 3 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Remove the pits from the dates and soak them in hot water for several minutes. Drain the dates and place them in a food processor when softening. Save the water.
2. Add the other ingredients—oats, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and spices—to the food processor and blend until the mixture becomes a paste or dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add 2-3 tablespoons of the water in which you soaked the dates.

4. Store the pumpkin seeds energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.
