- 2 tbsp oat flour
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Notes
- Soak dates in warm water if they are too dry before processing.
- Chill the date mixture before rolling to make shaping easier.

- Add cocoa powder or protein powder for a flavor or nutrition boost.
- Top with crushed nuts, sesame seeds, or coconut for extra texture.
