Apricot, Date, Brazils + Coconut Energy Balls (makes approx 24)
Ingredients:
15 pitted medjool dates
100g oats
150g dried apricot
50g desiccated coconut (plus extra for rolling)
40g chia seeds
60g grated fresh ginger
30g hemp seeds
130g brazil nuts
Place the dates, oats and apricots into a food processor and blitz until well combined - it may seem dry but it will come together after a couple of minutes. Then add the coconut, chia seeds, grated ginger, hemp seeds + brazil nuts with a 1/2 tbsp water and blitz again until combined. You want a soft ball, with some pieces of brazil nut for texture so don’t blitz so far that it turns into a paste.
I like to use scales and measure out 30g at a time (this will make about 24), but you can also measure by eye or use 2tbsp. Roll into balls then tip out the rest of the coconut onto a plate a roll the ball in the coconut to give a pretty finish!
