Ingredients
1 tbsp. chia seeds (white or black is fine)
2 tbsp. nut butter (we used peanut)
2 tbsp. cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil (organic if possible)
4 x medjool dates (pitted)
1 tbsp. of raw cacao powder
1 cup of LSA
1 tbsp. shredded coconut
1 tsp. cinnamon
Rolling Dust
1 tsp. raw cacao powder
1 tsp. shredded coconut
2 tbsp. chia seeds
Step 1 – Roughly chop the dates and place them in a food processor with the coconut oil and nut butter. Process until the mixture has a thin paste like consistency (around 30 seconds).
Step 2 – Pour the mixture in a bowl along with the rest of the ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until it’s all mixed. The mixture should be firm and stick together.
Step 3 – Use your hands to create small balls just slightly smaller then a golf ball.
Step 4 – Get your rolling dust ready by placing all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Step 5 – Roll the balls in the rolling dust until completely covered.
Step 6 – Eat straight away or refrigerate in an airtight container if they are for later.
