Ingredients
  

  • 1-1/2 cups pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup rolled oats

  1. In a food processor, combine the dates, raisins, oats, and pumpkin seeds. Process until the mixture is crumbly.
  2. Add the cocoa, protein powder (if using), salt, and vanilla. Process again, and let the processor run until the mixture begins to get sticky and form clumps.
  3. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and pulse until a ball forms on the blade.
  4. Remove the bowl, and roll small scoops (about one tablespoon each) of the mixture into balls. Continue until all of the mixture is used.
