Step 1

Add oats to food processor or blender and ground the oats until it turns into flour. Transfer to a bowl. You can also use quick oats or oat flour if you want to skip this extra step.

Step 2

To the food processor, add beans, peanut butter, and dates, and blend until smooth.

Step 3

Add in the oat flour along with vanilla extract and pulse a few times until combined. If too crumbly, pulse in more water (or reserved date water. See tips for success), 1 teaspoon at a time.

Step 4

Use a mini cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll into a ball between your palm.
