Found this lovely recipe from Sprouted Kitchen, but with the intent to have them as a workout-snack tonight I thought I'd tweak it a bit. Hemp protein powder with its nutty flavour works well in chocolaty or nutty sweets, a pinch of salt is a good addition when you're drinking and sweating it balances the sweetness of the dates well too.
Mash up soft fresh dates (with a fork or food processor) with unsalted peanut butter and enough almond flour and hemp protein powder to form a crumbly thick dough, add cocoa nibs if you have and/or some dry cranberries. Roll small balls and sprinkle a little Maldon salt on top. Store cold.
The tiny 5min batch I did this morning, took 6 pitted small fresh moroccan dates, 1tbsp smooth unsweetened peanut butter, roughly 1/2dl almond flour and about 3tbsp hemp protein powder and made 8 bite-sized balls. (And for a batch this small, forget about storing, my biggest problem is not eating them all before practice!)
They're absolutely divine and chewy (not hard) when you stick them in the freezer for a few hours. And, why not roll them in cocoa powder and serve them up, like truffles, with champagne?
