APRICOT & COCONUT BALLS (nut free)

APRICOT & COCONUT BALLS

(nut free if you only roll in desiccated coconut)

INGREDIENTS

½ cup/120g dried apricots

1 tbs rice malt syrup/maple syrup

½ cup/120g coconut cream (Ayam brand)

½ tsp sea salt

¼ cup/50g coconut oil

½ cup/90g coconut meal

¼ cup/40g cooked and chilled quinoa

For coating balls in

¼ cup Desiccated coconut and ¼ cup Ground pistachio nut to coat balls in (omit pistachio to keep nut free, but I just think they look so pretty in a combo of green & white)

METHOD

Soak the apricots in boiling water for 15 minutes.

Drain the apricots and process in a food processor to make a paste.

Add all other ingredients and blend till the mix comes together.

Use about 1 tbsp of mix to roll balls, and then roll to coat in the desiccated coconut or the ground pistachio.

Makes approximately 16 balls.
