How to Make the Chocolate Brownie Date Bites Recipe

1. Add the first 9 ingredients to a food processor or blender.
2. Pulse until all ingredients are blended and oats are finely chopped.
3. Slowly add water until the mixture sticks together and forms a ‘dough’ like consistency but not too wet. You may not need all the water required. If dough becomes too wet you can add more oats. Add chocolate chips and mix with a spoon.
