]]> 6684 Peanut Butter Bites https://truefunctionfitness.com/food/peanut-butter-bites/ Tue, 18 Feb 2020 06:03:00 +0000 http://ld-wp.template-help.com/wordpress_62222_default-sample/?p=13

If you’re a peanut butter fan, these sweet treats might be your new favorite snack. With only two-ingredients, peanut butter bites couldn’t be any easier to make. They’re a portable energy boosting snack that you can toss in your bag for hectic days and eating on the run. They also make a delicious, simple dessert (great with a cup of herbal tea) on those nights when you simply want something sweet… and the best part is, you know exactly what they’re made of.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 heaping cup unsalted roasted peanuts
  • 8-10 dates, pitted
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions

In a food processor, pulse peanuts until broken up into small pieces. Add dates (and salt if using) and pulse until combined into a dough-like paste. Roll into bite-sized balls and store in an airtight container. If using a high-powered blender instead of a food processor, it may be helpful to split the recipe into two batches. Makes approximately 12 peanut butter bites.

Optional step: pulse a handful of peanuts into fine pieces, pour onto a plate and roll the completed date bites in the powdery mixture for an extra peanut crunch.
