Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup (100g) Almond butter
• 1tbsp Orange juice
• 1.5tsp Organge zest (about one medium orange worth)
• 2 tbsp Chia seeds (plus extra for decorating)
• 2 tbsp cacao powder
• 140g Medjool dates (weighed before the pits are removed)
• 100g pecan nuts
• Pinch of salt (this can be optional)

Directions

• In to the food processor place the pecan nuts and dates, pulse for 1 minute until paste like consistency
• Now add in the orange zest, almond butter, chia seeds and cacao
• Blend until fully combined for about 3-4 minutes
• Once mixture is sticky, roll in to bite sized balls
• Optional: Add 1-2 sea salt flakes to the top of each ball
• Decorate accordingly. I like to roll half the batch in extra chia seeds and the other half I put a pecan nut on!
• Place in to freezer for 1-2 hrs to set, then remove and keep in the fridge in a sealed container (or you can leave them in the freezer until you want them)
