Recipe
Makes approx. 20 small balls
- 4 Medjool dates
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup flaxseed
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
- 5 tbsp date syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 1 tbsp maca powder
Method
Using a food processor, blitz the nuts until they become finely ground. Next add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and blitz. The mixture will come together and stick. Scoop out a small amount of mixture using a table spoon and roll it into a ball in the palm of your hand. Optionally, you can then roll the balls in shredded coconut, chia seeds, goji berries - or anything you want.
These delicious balls will store refrigerated in an air tight container for a couple of weeks.
