Granola Bites (Protein Balls) – faithfulworkouts

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup oats (you can toast in the oven or just leave raw)
• 2 tbsp nuts (I like them chopped up a bit - pecans and almonds are my fave)
• 1 tbsp peanut butter (natural; no added sugar)
• 1 1/2 tsp flax seed (ground)
• 1 1/2 tsp cacao powder (this is better for you than cocoa powder)
• 1 1/2 tsp coconut oil (melted)
• 2 1/4 dates (pitted, soak them in hot water for a few minutes and then drain)
