Good for a snack and replacing electrolytes
These amounts make 10-12 balls
- 8 dried figs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 cardamom pods
- 4 tbsp ground almonds
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp dried banana chips, smashed
- A pinch of sea salt
- 4 dried apricots, chopped
- 2 tsp cocoa powder (optional)
Chop the figs into small cubes and soak in enough boiled water to just cover them.
Add the vanilla extract and cardamom pods and leave for 5 minutes.
Drain off most of the excess water, leaving a couple of teaspoons of the liquid and remove the cardamom pods. It’s a good idea to count them in and count them back out so you know you’ve taken them all out!
Mash with a fork and add all the other ingredients and mix together. It should become quite a stiff consistency to then roll into balls. If it is still too loose, add a bit more coconut flour.
When rolling the balls, chop some extra pumpkin seeds and mix with a little coconut flour to roll them in. This will prevent them from becoming too sticky. Done!
