I decided to make some healthy treats for my loved ones for easter. These energy balls are super easy and I haven't met anyone who hasn't liked them.
The Recipe
1 cup pitted dates
1 cup of almonds
2 tablespoons of pure raw cocoa powder
1 pinch of salt
unsweetened desiccated coconut for decoration
Soak the dates in lukewarm water for a few minutes. Press out the water until the dates are realtively dry. Put the almonds in a food processor and ground them (be careful not to do that for too long - we don't want to make almond paste out of them ;-) ). Put the dates, cocoa powder and salt into the food processor and process until the mixture starts to stick on the sides.
Then take a bit of the mixture, roll it into a ball and roll it in the desiccated coconut.
You can be very creative with the ingredients, you can substitute the almonds with any other nut and the dates with any other dried fruit you like. For example dried cherries and hazelnuts or replace half of the almonds with walnuts to get a more brownielike taste.
Or a more tropical flavour by using dried mangos and cashews and skipping the cocoa powder.
I would love to hear from you if you try out the recipe or if you come up with other combinations.
mmm they really look like good! thank you for sharing your receipe!

Ich suche gerade nach ähnlich schnellen Rezepten für ähnliches Knabberzeug, das schnell mal in den Mund hüpfen kann, wenn nötig. Leider mag ich weder Datteln noch habe ich eine "Flotte Lotte" daheim. Andere Trockenfrüchte sind auch Mangelware. Ich hab aber schon eine Idee ...
(Ich hätte es jetzt gern resteemt, damit ich es nicht vergesse, aber das geht ja nicht mehr. Hmpf.)
oh, schade, dass du keine datteln magst... aber was auch super ist: überreife bananen mit haferflocken mischen und ins backrohr - könntest auch nüsse dazugeben, oder kokosflocken oder so :-) ganz liebe grüße, beate
Hab ich alles da. Also Bananen, Haferflocken, gemahlene Nüsse ... yippie ya yay :D
Ich hoffe, ich finde die Zeit dafür.
