I have been craving sweets as the weather gets chiller and
thought that it was high time to make some bliss / goodie balls. I usually make
these with dates as a base, however I thought apricots might be an interesting way
to go this time around. The ingredients may sound a little strange but combined together
they form a nutritious, naturally sweet and filling little goodie ball. You can
also add any form of chopped nuts to this recipe or if you really like citrus
lemon zest would be a nice addition along with the lemon juice. I just love the
vibrant colour of these bliss balls!
- 500g dried apricots
- 3 heaped tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 heaped tablespoons LSA
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons rice malt syrup
- 1 heaped tablespoon organic peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup roughly shredded coconut
- To coat: cacoa powder & finely shredded coconut
PREPARATION
1. Place all the ingredients except for the coating ingredients in a food processor and process until mixed well and all ingredients are combined. (If the mixture is too sticky, add some water sparingly).
2. Form mixture into 16 even-sized bliss balls with your hands. Coat in cacoa powder, finely shredded coconut and leave some bliss balls uncoated. Keep covered in the refrigerator and eat immediately when removed.
