How to Prepare High-Protein Chocolate Chip Date Balls [Vegan, Allergy-Friendly]

Start by placing your oats in your food processor and breaking them down into a crumbly flour. Then add the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and process until the mixture sticks together. Then add your chocolate chips and pulse a few times. The mixture should be dough-like.
Scoop the mixture with a spoon and form a ball with your hands and place on a parchment lined plate. Place in the freezer to firm up. They can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week, otherwise, freeze them.

Notes

*Buckwheat crispies can be made by soaking buckwheat groats for 4 hours, rinsing and draining and dehydrating for 4 hours (or baking in the oven for 15 minutes at 350).
