Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Remove the pits from your dates and soak them in hot water for 5 minutes. (This softens them, making them easier to blend and giving the filling a chewier texture.)
Drain the water from the dates, then place them in your food processor with the sunflower seed butter and vanilla. Blend until the mixture looks like a thick, sticky caramel.
Add in the remaining filling ingredients. Blend, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
Scoop the dough for the filling and roll into balls, each about one tablespoon in size.
You can eat the balls as-is, or chill them and then dip them in dark chocolate. To chill them, place the balls on a lined baking sheet and pop them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Once the balls are chilled, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwavable dish and melt on high heat at 20-30 second intervals, stirring in-between.
Dip the balls, one at a time into the melted chocolate and place them back on the lined baking sheet to set.

Notes

*I used hemp protein powder, but pumpkin seed protein, pea protein and watermelon seed protein work well too.
