Equipment

  • food processor
  • Measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Dried dates soft and pitted, medjool are my favourite
  • 1/4 cup Rolled oats gluten free, sprouted (optional)
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes unsulfured
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts raw, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup Raw almonds raw, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup Hemp hearts and extra for rolling/dipping in (optional)
  • 1/3 cup Raw cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil virgin, organic preferred
  • 3 drops Peppermint extract pure

Instructions
 

  • Add the walnuts and almonds to a food processor and blend until smooth like a nut butter.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the processor. Blend well until a nice sticky consistency has been reached.
  • Transfer the mixture to a glass bowl or just remove the food processer's lid and blade.
  • Using a spoon to scoop out and add into the palm of your hand. Roll into even balls using your hands.
  • Store in a glass container in the fridge or freezer until ready to enjoy!

Notes

Option to roll or dip the balls into hemp hearts, cacao powder, shredded coconut or ground up gogi berries would also be nice.
Try a mixture of your favourites.
