☆ 1 cup mixed nuts (I used equal parts walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and cashews)
☆ 1/2 cup fresh ground peanut butter
☆ 1/2 tsp pink himalayan salt
☆ 1 rounded, packed cup of medjool pitted dates (soaked in warm water for 5 mins)
☆ 3 TBS maca powder
☆ 3/4 cup quick oats
☆ 3 TBS water
☆ 1/4 cup cacao nibs (or chocolate chips)
Directions:
1. While soaking the dates, blend the nuts, peanut butter, and salt together in a food processor until the nuts are chopped into small pieces and it starts to clump.
2. Remove dates from water, drain, add to processor and blend.
3. Add in maca and oats. Blend again.
4. Add water in 1 Tablespoon at a time while finishing blending.
5. Remove from processor and fold in chocolate chips.
