Equipment

  • Food processor
  • zester or microplaner
  • knife

Ingredients

  • 130 g pitted medjool dates (approx 7 large dates)
  • 100 g hazelnuts (no need to remove the skins)
  • 50 g sunflower seeds
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • zest and juice 1 orange

Instructions

  • Put everything into a food processor and blend until everything comes together. If the mixture is a bit dry add water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
  • Take a tablespoon of mixture and roll into a ball. Continue with the rest.
  • They will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • If you don't have access to medjool dates you can use other dried dates, such as deglet noor. These might be a bit drier than the medjool variety. You can soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes prior to blending to soften them.
