Description
Our quest to find more interesting snack options for our kids that are low in refined sugar led us to re-visit energy balls. We've made them before without success, but this recipe is a hit. It's a bit like Reece's peanut butter cups, but without the junk. They're sweet enough for the kids to enjoy them and very easy to make (note that you will need a food processor). As always, customise as you like.
Ingredients
- 200g medjool dates
- 30g dark chocolate
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 50g oats
- Coatings of your choice (eg. cocoa powder, crushed nuts, desiccated coconut)
Method
1. Soak the medjool dates in a bowl of boiling water to soften for 15 minutes.
2. Drain the dates and put them in a food processor. Whizz until into a paste.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and whizz again until they all form a thick paste. Use your hands to roll into balls (makes around 18) and coat in a coating of your choice if you like.
4. Put onto a baking tray or plate and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Store in the fridge.
