Ingredients
- 220 g medjool dates

- 60 g tahini
- 65 ml maple syrup

Instructions
- Place the pitted dates, oat flour, tahini, maple syrup, salt and vanilla powder and blend them until they form into a sticky dough.
- Take around a tablespoon-sized scoop out and roll in your hands to form a ball. Repeat this step until you use all of the dough.
