Ingredients
  • 12 ounces Medjool Dates, pitted
  • ¾ cup roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 scoop (1/3 cup) plant-based vanilla protein powder (I used Nuzest Lean Clean Protein)
  • About 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
  1. Add the peanuts to a food processor and process until chopped.
  2. Measure out ¼ cup of the peanuts and set aside the remaining nuts. Return the ¼ cup of peanuts to the food processor.
  3. Add the Medjool dates, vanilla, protein powder, and salt to the processor and process until mostly smooth. If the mixture starts to ball up, add a tablespoon of water and continue to blend. The mixture will be thick.
  4. Shape the date mixture into little logs about three inches long. Roll in the remaining chopped peanuts, coating the logs thoroughly, pressing gently to make sure the nuts stick.
  5. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
  6. Makes about 12 bars.
