Ingredients
Base:
- 4 Medjool dates (approx. 60g pitted)
- 40g oats (we used Bio&Me Oats & Plenty)
- 1/2 tin butter beans, drained and rinsed (approx. 200g)
- 1 large carrot, grated (approx. 100g grated)
- 2 tbsp flaxseed, milled
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
Filling:
- 25g walnuts
Coating (Choose one):
- Dessicated coconut
- Chia seeds
- Poppy seeds
Method
- Place the dates, flaxseeds and oats into your food processor and blitz until everything is roughly blended.
- Add the rest of the base ingredients and blitz again. The mixture should be moist but not so wet that you can't roll it (if it's too wet, add an extra sprinkle of oats).
- Using a walnut as the centre, form a ball around it with the mixture. Leave naked or roll in your coating of choice. Repeat.
- Pop into the fridge to firm up for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
