And I thought I'd be known for my muffin (sorry, that's a quote stolen from Betty White on Saturday Night Live) because everyone asks for my almond flour muffin recipe. However, if I post anymore of these recipes I will be known for my balls! I shouldn't be surprised, I am a little obsessed by these fruity and nutty treats!
This version is reminiscent of cookie dough, so they have become my instant favorite!
What you need;
1/2 cup of cashews
1 cup of shredded coconut
1/2 cup dried blueberries
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1/4 tspn Mixed Spice*
How to make them;
- Put the coconut in the food processer and buzz until yo have small flakes
- Add the cashews and spices and mix until they resemble really coarse sand
- Add blueberries and coconut oil and process until well mixed
- Take rounded dessertspoon scoops and form into a ball in the palm of your hand; the ingredients should be crumbly, but hold it's form when pressed together
- Put the balls onto a tray or into small cake cups (if you have them)
- Put formed balls into the fridge to set for about an hour
There should be enough mix to make about 16 small walnut sized balls. They will last a couple of weeks if stored in a cool dry place (tub/tin) if they aren't eaten before then :-)
