Ingredients
1cuppitted dates
2tablespoonsmolasses (or date molasses)
¼teaspoonground cinnamon
⅛teaspoonground ginger
2pinchesground cloves
2pinchesground nutmeg
⅔cup+ 2-½ tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
Process the dates in a food processor (or high-powered blender) until they are finely chopped.
Add the molasses, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg and continue processing until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Add ⅔ cup rolled oats and process mixture just until oats are mostly chopped and batter sticks together.
Transfer batter to a mixing bowl and place the remaining 2-½ tablespoons rolled oats on a flat plate.
Roll the batter into 12 equal size balls between the palms of your hands. (The mixture will be very sticky - if too sticky to work with, try chilling the batter for about 30 minutes before rolling balls.) Roll balls in rolled oats until coated.
Chill truffles for 30 minutes before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Substitute date molasses for all, or part, of the molasses, if desired. (I used 1 tablespoon molasses and 1 tablespoon date molasses.)Serving size: 2 gingerbread trufflesClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.4*PointsPlus (Old plan)
