No-bake oat balls with date syrup, peanut butter and almonds — a healthy, tasty snack that's quick to make. Vegan version: Date syrup (silan) and Dark chocolate (dairy-free).
Toast the oats in a dry skillet over medium heat 3–4 minutes, stirring, until until golden. Let cool.

💡Toast over medium heat and keep things moving: nuts, pine nuts and spices go from toasted to burnt in seconds. Transfer to a plate right away, since the hot pan keeps toasting.

In a bowl, mix the oats, coconut, milk, peanut butter, date syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, chia seeds, salt, dark chocolate and nuts well, until the mixture is moist and holds together when pressed.
