OAT & NUT CHOCOLATE ENERGY BALLS

Makes 6

I know, more energy balls. But I can assure you these are really yummy and they don’t have too much sugar added to them. Dates are a natural source of sweetness and I just like a little bit of honey for extra flavour and to bind it all together. They should keep for a good week in the fridge.

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon tahini
120g oats
1 tablespoon coco powder
10g chia seeds
5 x dates
50g toasted almonds
50g toasted walnuts
10g honey
Desiccated coconut

METHOD
Toast the almonds and walnuts in a frying pan over a medium heat until lightly golden. You’ll be able to smell them when they are done and they may start popping.
Place everything in a food processor and blend until combined. You may need to add a few drops of water to help the mixture stick together and then keep blending. You can do this a few times.
Roll into 6 large balls, you will need to press the mix together quite firmly. Roll in desiccated coconut to coat
Place in fridge for at least 2 hours to chill.
