Ingredients

  • 8 medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 2 TBSP molasses
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 TBSP sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 2 TBSP ground flax seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ground ginger (omit if you don't love ginger)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Put all the ingredients into a food processor. Run it until it starts to clump into a ball and is sticky enough to roll into balls. Form 20 1-inch balls. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
    Enjoy with fruit or other vitamin-C containing foods to increase iron absorption, knowing each ball contains 1.1 mg of iron. Eat a few!
