Step-By-Step Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a food processor, combine pitted dates, raisins, oats, and pumpkin seeds. Pulse until crumbly, resembling coarse sand. Scrape down sides as needed.
- Add Cocoa and Flavor: Sprinkle in cocoa powder, plant-based protein powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Process until sticky and well combined. Scrape sides to ensure blending.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Add chocolate chips and pulse lightly to distribute without over-processing.
- Form the Bites: Take about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls. Place each on a plate or parchment-lined sheet.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate formed bites for at least 30 minutes until slightly firm.
- Store for Enjoyment: Transfer to an airtight container, storing with parchment paper between layers. They can last up to two weeks in the fridge.

Notes
Ensure dates are moist for easier blending. For uniform bites, use a small scoop to portion out. Don't skip the chilling step for best texture.
