Ingredients

12 Medjool dates
1 cup rolled oats I used gluten-free
½ cup almonds
1 tablespoon chia seeds
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions

Remove the pits from the dates and soak them in hot water for a few minutes until softened. Once they’re soft, drain the dates and transfer them to a food processor. Be sure to reserve the soaking water for later use.
Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and blend until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of the soaking water to help bring it together.
Using a small spoon, scoop the mixture and roll it into balls. Place them on a tray and refrigerate to allow them to firm up.
Storage: For the best freshness, enjoy the energy balls within 14 days. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Freezing: You can freeze the energy balls for up to 3 months. Simply freeze them in a single layer for a few hours, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature when ready to eat.

Notes

As a measure, I used a US cup (240ml).
