How do you make no-bake tahini date balls?

To make these date balls, you simply:

Blend all the ingredients. First add the seeds and give a quick blitz, then add the pitted dates, tahini, and oats. Blend in the food processor until the mixture is well combined with no chunks of dates.
Roll into balls. Once the mixture is combined, it's a bit crumbly, which is what you're looking for. Wet your hands and scoop out a tablespoon amount, and roll into a ball.
Coat with your favourite topping. After you've rolled your date mixture into balls, then roll into your topping to coat. You can choose sesame seeds, shredded coconuts, or ground nuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of dates?

Yes, but please double the number of dates in the recipe; for example, if you have the Deglet Noor variety of dates, you'll need 32 dates. Most dates are half the size of Medjool dates.

How long can you store date balls?

You can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for a week, or you can freeze them for up to one month.
