Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashews
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (or Quinoa Flakes for GF option)

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

  • Prep Ingredients: Deseed the medjool dates, melt the coconut oil, grate the carrot, finely chop the walnuts.
  • Place the cashews, oats, dates, sauce, protein and spices to the food processor or stick blender. Blitz until all the nuts are crushed and the mix forms a dough.If too runny, add some coconut or if too dry add 1-2 tbsp of water.
  • Place the dough in a bowl and stir through the carrot and pecans (may need to use hands to make sure it is evenly dispersed in the mix).
  • Pour coconut in a small bowl.
  • Roll dough into teaspoon sized balls and then coat with coconut.
  • Place in a container and set in the fridge for at least 30mins (good luck waiting that long to try one!!). Also able to keep in the freezer.
