Notes

Pro Tips!

Don’t over blend as this can make the ingredients too smooth. Instead, combine enough to keep the ingredients gritty enough to give them some texture.
Try adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice flavoring to make this oatball recipe extra autumnal.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days to ensure they keep their texture and stay fresh (not that they will last this long; however, you store them because they are so delicious!). Alternatively, these oatmeal date balls can be kept in the fridge for 4-5 days.
