    Ingredients and substitutions

    The base of this recipe is peanut butter, oatmeal and dates. You can add your favorite ingredients from there.

    Peanut butter - I love using a runny peanut butter since it makes this recipe a little more moist.

    Medjool dates - Make sure they're pitted. These bliss balls are sweetened naturally with dates. Dates are amazingly nutritious as well and are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals like potassium. (1)

    Vanilla - This adds a little more flavor to the bliss balls.

    Soy milk - You can use whatever plant based milk you have on hand. I like to add a little splash of soy milk to make these bliss balls a little more moist. It also helps them to stick together better. If you don't have soy milk, use whatever plant based milk you have on hand, or use water.

    Shredded coconut - This adds a nice texture and flavor. If you don't like coconut, feel free to leave it out.

    Variations

    Nut butter - feel free to use almond butter or any other kind of nut butter.

    Add in some crunch - add in any type of nuts you'd like. I love adding in hemp seeds for some extra omega 3 fatty acids.

    Chocolate chips would also be a great addition.

    Storing tips

    Keep these in a tupperware in the fridge. They will last about a week.

    Yes you can freeze these! Let them thaw before eating. They keep well in the freezer.

    Recipe FAQs

    What if I don't have dates?

    I've made this recipe with raisins before and it worked great.

    Are these bliss balls gluten free?

    If you use certified gluten free oats, and make sure the other ingredients don't have gluten, this recipe is gluten free.

    Can I leave out the coconut?

    Feel free to leave it out! These taste great without it.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup oats (gluten free if you want to make this recipe gluten free)
    • ¾ cup peanut butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
    • 2 tablespoons soy milk (or water)

    Instructions

    • Add the dry oatmeal to a food processor and blend for a minute.
      1 cup oats
    • Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and blend for a minute or two. You will need to stop it a few times and scrape down the sides of the food processor.
      ¾ cup peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons soy milk, 6 pitted medjool dates
    • Grab a spoon and scoop out about 1-2 tablespoons of batter. Squish together into a ball with the palm of your hand, then roll it to smooth it out even more. Store in the fridge in a tupperware with a lid.

    Notes

    These taste the best the next day, after you've stored them in the fridge. They go great with a warm cup of tea or coffee. 
    Keep them stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
