Suitable for Special Diet (or adaptable) Dairy-free, Egg-free, Gluten-free, Grain-free, Low-sugar, Nut-free, Sensory, Vegan, Vegetarian

Ingredients

150 g Medjool Date (pitted)
30 g Ground Almonds (or sunflower seeds)
40 g Porridge Oats
10 g Chia Seeds
2 tbsp Honey (or rice syrup)
2 tsps Cacao Powder
7 g Freeze-Dried Raspberries (approx.)
Desiccated coconut (or cacao/cocoa powder to decorate)

Instructions

Blitz all of the ingredients in a food processor for about a minute until ground up.
Grab a walnut size piece of dough and roll into a ball with your hands and repeat.
These are delicious on their own, or you can roll in some desiccated coconut or cacao/cocoa if you prefer.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze. They defrost very quickly within an hour.

Notes

When rolling into balls, to avoid getting sticky doughy fingers, you can dampen your hands with a little water. This way you also get a lovely smooth finish.

Gluten-free: Use gluten-free oats.

If your school has a nut-free rule, then simply swap the ground almonds for sunflower seeds.

Per serving. Nutrition content in food is never consistent, so take these estimates with a pinch of salt! Also, our recipes tend to use low-GI carbs and sugars, so these values are not directly comparable with shop-bought UPFs.
