Ingredients
Scale
Date paste
- 10 Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup water
- Optional: 1 tbsp almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
Dough
- 1/3 cup oat flour
- ¼ cup date paste (above)
- 2 tbsps tapioca starch (or cornstarch)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Caramel Goo
- ¼ cup date paste (above)
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Blend all the ingredients for the date paste. You may have extra date paste, but most blenders cannot blend with any less volume than this.
- Mix together all the ingredients for the dough. It should be quite sticky, but firm enough to roll into balls.
- Mix together all the ingredients for the caramel goo.
- Pinch off a small piece of dough. Roll it into a ball. Drop in the caramel goo and use a spoon to evenly coat. Place in a microwave safe ramekin. Repeat with the rest of the dough (I got about 8 balls).
- Microwave for 1 to 1.5 minutes on high. *See notes for oven option.
- Top with remaining caramel goo and a sprinkle of cinnamon Enjoy!
Notes
I actually prefer the texture of the microwave version with this recipe, but you can bake it in a preheated oven for approximately 15-20 mins at 375F.
