Units
Scale
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) unsalted pistachios
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) certified gluten free old fashioned oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 4 dates soaked in warm water for 5-10 minutes
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) good quality milk chocolate melted (or dark)
- 2 pinches salt
Instructions
- Place the pistachios and oats in a high-speed blender and pulse until well-ground and flour-like.
- Add in the soaked dates, chia seeds, and salt and pulse until the mixture clumps up.
- Spoon the pistachio mixture into a bowl.
- Melt the milk chocolate (or dark chocolate) in a broiler or microwave (check and stir at 25–30 second intervals). Ensure the melted chocolate isn’t too hot; let it cool if necessary.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the pistachio, oat, date, and chia mixture and stir well.
- Gather teaspoons of the mixture and roll to form bites/balls.
- Chill the chocolate pistachio bites for 30 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Toasted pistachios will enhance the flavor; toast them lightly in a dry pan before blending.
- For a vegan option, use a plant-based milk chocolate and ensure your oats are certified vegan.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming soft.
