  • *Recipe down below. WOW, these are way too good! I'm excited to share with you my cookie dough energy balls. These make a great snack and will last a while in the fridge... if you don't eat them all first.
    Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below!
    Cookie Dough Energy Balls
    Ingredients:
    1 cup rolled (or quick) oats
    4 large medjool dates (or just under 1/2 cup of dates)

    1/4 cup chocolate chips
    1 tsp cinnamon
    Pinch of salt
    *Flaked coconut to roll them in

    You can soak the dates in warmed nondairy milk if you need to. That way you're not adding any more liquid to the recipe!

    Hey Derrick. I’m a big fan. Wanted to tell you I never ate a date in my 70 years. After watching you, I tried them and now I eat them everyday, in cereal, oatmeal, smoothies etc. Btw, it’s best to use Ceylon cinnamon as the standard has too much coumarin, can be toxic to your liver.

    • @davidk2187
      @davidk2187 4 роки тому +3

      It's probably fine to use the standard cinnamon in occasional recipes like this one. I usually do because I think it tastes way better than Ceylon cinnamon. If you use it it every day on the other hand, like in oatmeal, then better to use ceylon.
