In a food processor or high powered blender blend the dates until they start to break down and ball up into one big ball.
Add the peanut butter, oats, maple syrup, flaxseed, chia seeds, and chocolate chips if you’re using them. Pulse a few times until combined. Don’t over blend the mixture or it can start to separate and get weird.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out energy balls, rolling between your palms to form a smooth ball. Drizzle with additional melted chocolate or leave as is!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months!
