Recipe tip from Jessica
Ingredients:
- 120 g dates, soft and pitted (alternatively, you can use dried mulberries, blueberries and blackberries instead of dates)
- 130 g sunflower seeds (alternatively, you can also use pumpkin seeds)
- 20 g rolled oats (alternatively, you can also use ground nuts - almonds or hazelnuts work well here)
- vanilla extract
- For topping: coconut flakes, cocoa powder, chia seeds
- Optionally, you can also add a little honey or a few linseeds
Preparation:
- Chop the rolled oats and sunflower seeds using a food processor.
- Add the dates and chop again until the mixture sticks together well and everything is finely chopped.
- If the mixture is too dry, you can add a few more dates or honey.
- Chill the mixture briefly (approx. 15 minutes).
- Then form small balls and roll in grated coconut. Alternatively, you can also use chia seeds or cocoa powder.
- They will keep in the fridge for approx. 1 week
