Ingredients
- 10 pitted dates
- ¼ cup oats
- 1/4 cup almonds 30 g
- ¼ cup pistachios 30 g
- zest and juice of one organic lemon
- pinch of sea salt
- extra roughly ground pistachios for coating
Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 180C. Roast the nuts for 7-10 minutes. Let them cool.
-
Blitz the oats in the food processor until fine meal. Set them aside and blitz the nuts into fine crumble. Remove the nuts and blitz the dates into a thick paste adding a bit of lemon juice if it’s too dry.
-
Add the nuts, oats, lemon zest, sea salt, and the rest of the lemon juice to the date paste in the food processor and blend quickly until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture forms into a ball.
-
Add a little lemon juice or maple syrup if it’s too dry. Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Roll a tsp of dough at a time into bite-size balls, and coat them with some extra ground pistachios or shredded coconut and refrigerate.
