The perfect healthy substitute for chocoholics! Low in fat and low in calories.
Ingredients
- 35 pitted dates
- ¼ cup chia seeds (black and white mixed) – grind half in mortar and pestle and keep other half whole
- ¼ cup sesame seeds - grind half in mortar and pestle and keep other half whole
- ¾ cup quinoa flakes
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut
- 1/3 cup raw cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons tahini (preferably unhulled)
- 2 tablespoons ABC spread (combined almonds, Brazil, cashews)
Method
- Soak dates overnight.
- Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl – chia seeds, sesame seeds, quinoa flakes, desiccated coconut, and cacao powder.
- Either put softened dates in a food processor or alternatively chop dates into small pieces into a separate bowl.
- Add honey, tahini, and nut spread to the chopped dates (either combine in food processor, or combine in the bowl with the dates).
- Slowly add dry ingredients, mixing as you go. You just need it at a consistency that will hold the dry ingredients together, so you may need to vary quantities as you see fit.
- Using your hands, form into individual balls about 3cm diameter.
