Janelle's bliss balls

 I stumbled upon this recipe whilst looking for healthy snack ideas for my daughter in law who has a newborn and a toddler.  Great for snacking on when time is at a premium and you need a sweet fix but not necessarily a sugar high. 

    



Ingredients

I cup rolled oats (not instant)

1 Tablespoon of ground flax seed and 3 Tablespoons warm water

1/4 cup roasted almond butter

2 Tablespoons maple syrup

3 soft Medjool dates, pitted (or substitute 2 additional Tablespoons of Maple syrup)

2 Tablespoons coconut oil

1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 Teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 Teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cups chopped pecans

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/3 cup chocolate chips

Method

In a frypan toast the oats over a low heat until just browned at the edges.  Toasting the oats makes them more digestable.  

In a small bowl combine flaxseeds and warm water, set aside for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

In a food processor combine almond butter, maple syrup, dates, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Add flaxseed mixture and blend until smooth.

Add the pecans, pulse to combine, Add the oats and coconut, pulse to combine. Add the choc chips and pulse until evenly incorporated.

Using wet hands roll the mixture into balls and chill until firm (at least 30 minutes).  If the mixture is too sticky to roll, place in the refrigerator for several minutes before attempting to roll into balls again.

Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Guaranteed delidous
