SunButter Date Bliss Balls

4-ingredient no bake energy balls made with sunflower seed butter and dates! Naturally sweetened and perfect for meal prep snacking!

Tomorrow is the day.

I’m going outdoor climbing for the first time!

Last night I practiced how to tie myself into the harness and belay over and over and over again.

My figure eight knot is looking a lot more recognizable as an 8 instead of a mess of twisted rope and my stopper knot actually stops.

Also, we had a pretty solid makeshift anchor situation going, guys.

The rope looped around the stairway banister and cascaded down the steps to the basement.

As I ascended steps, I practiced the motion of belaying.

We’re packing the car tonight with the supplies and gear and FOOD.

Wait, you *knew* I would come to the crag prepared with snacks.

These SunButter Date Bliss Balls are so easy to roll out for your adventuring with just 4-ingredients.

Whether you’re adventuring tomorrow or not, make these for a quick snack packed with plant-based energy!

You Need to Try Dates and SunButter

When I first stuffed the pitted center of a juicy Medjool date with SunButter and took a bite I think I made audible exclamations while chewing, because it was (read: IS) *that* good.

I first saw the combo floating around Instagram with that caption, “You’ve got to try this.”

So I did.

After falling in love with the combination, I knew I needed to explore the SunButter vs. date combo more thoroughly.

Because they’re made for each other and they’re made for bliss balls!

So, I’ll tell you like I was told years ago on Instagram; friend, you’ve got to try this!

SunButter Date Balls for Meal Prep

Where are all of my meal preppers at?

Making these SunButter Date Bliss Balls on Sundays is the absolute best.

They’re ridiculously easy to prepare and also get you pretty excited about the coming week.

I love that these set up perfectly without any bake or chill time.

All you do is blend, scoop, roll, and rejoice.

All the better to eat you with, my dear.

What You Need to Make SunButter Date Bliss Balls 

The ingredients are very basic.

I’m guessing you probably already have a lot of these in your cabinets like I did– let’s see!

Here’s what you need:

• 12-15 pitted dates
• No Sugar Added SunButter
• chia seeds
• gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats

That’s it!

How to Use Dried Up Dates 

For this recipe, I recommend using a high speed blender or food processor for the best results.

Start the recipe by adding your dates to a high speed blender or food processor.

If your dates are ancient or possibly deceased, don’t worry!

Revive them by soaking them in boiled water for 10 minutes for an instant makeover– the kind I wish I could do on busy mornings.

*sigh*.

How to Make SunButter Date Bliss Balls 

Next, add in the oats, SunButter, and chia seeds and pulse until the contents are well combined and sticky.

You want the contents to stick together when pressed between two fingers.

This is how you know the mixture is ready for rolling!

If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more oats, and if it’s too dry, add another date or a spoonful of SunButter and process again.

Scoop the dough out with a cookie scoop and roll in smooth balls.

The mixture should make anywhere from 9-12 bliss balls, depending on the size of your cookie scoop and how generous your scoop is.

Enjoy the balls right after rolling or roll them in some oats for aesthetics and texture!

How to Serve SunButter Date Bliss Balls 

These SunButter Date Bliss Balls are the perfect snack to pop in before or after a workout!

These bites are gluten-free, oil-free, and refined-sugar-free.

A protein trifecta of oats, No Sugar Added SunButter, and chia seeds keeps them hearty and filling with lots of chewy texture.

They’re naturally sweetened with just Medjool dates!

The addition of sunflower seed butter keeps these balls nut-free and packed with healthy fats.

And they’re totally portable.

I love to keep mine in a stasher bag for wherever the day might take me.

Grab a couple for a mid-morning snack, healthy dessert, or on-the-going adventuring.

Enjoy!
