Move over jelly, PB has a new lover.

Friends, I’m here to introduce you to my latest flavor obsession.

Have you tried the combination of peanut butter and basil?

If your face is all contorted in disgust, hear me out.

Because my face looked like that once too.

But now I’m chewing on these Peanut Butter & Basil Bliss Balls in pure peanut butter basil bliss.

I don’t know exactly how to describe to you the way that it works, but it works.

All you need is 4 ingredients, a blender, and an open mind!

Peanut Butter & Basil Bliss Ball ingredients blended

Where should I start with these bites?

They’re completely raw and no-bake– ideal for days when you’re too lazy to watch the oven preheat.

Especially if you have an oven like mine that takes a good 20 minutes to get to 400.

When I’m on my way home from the gym craving something baked, I call Dan and ask him to preheat the oven for me, because hanger can’t wait.

This also makes them suitable for spring, and it might as well be spring in Virginia, with all of the 70 degree days we’ve been having in February (what?!).

They’re also oil free, gluten free, and refined sugar free.

What’s left? A satisfying and sweet snack made with only FOUR ingredients.

Healthy fats from peanut butter,  hearty gluten free oats, enticing fresh basil, and sweet and juicy Medjool dates.

Yum.

Enjoy these Peanut Butter Basil Bliss Balls for a super easy snack or anytime pick-me-up.

It’s so easy to make a batch of these on Sunday and keep them in the fridge all week for healthy snacking.

They’re portable and are way to easy to pop in your mouth, your friend’s mouth, your purse…you get the picture.

If you want to mix things up, substitute another nut butter in place of peanut butter, or try adding some mix-ins!

Description

4-ingredient raw energy balls with peanut butter, oats, dates, and fresh basil! Perfect to make ahead for snacking on the go when basil is in season!


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups dates, pitted and packed
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Add the oats, dates, basil, and peanut butter to a high-speed blender or food processor and process until everything is well combined, pausing to scrape down the sides and recombine. The dough should form a large sticky ball.
  2. Roll dough into ~1 1/2 TBSP balls with your hands and roll in more minced basil for garnish, if desired.
  3. Serve the balls immediately.
  4. Store leftover Peanut Butter Basil Bliss Balls in the fridge for 3-5 days and freeze them for long term storage.

Notes

Recipe adapted from This Rawsome Vegan Life

If your dates are dried up and a little on the mature side, pour boiling water over them and let them sit for about 10 minutes, then drain and add to the recipe. Voila, juicy dates!

Hi, I'm Lauren!
You can find me in the kitchen making healthy and creative plant-based dishes with whole foods, on my yoga mat stretching it out, or curled up with a good book and a glass of red.

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
