Ingredients
- 50g/1¾oz linseeds (also known as flaxseeds)
- 250g/9oz roasted unsalted peanuts
- 50g/1¾oz desiccated coconut
- 100g/3½oz dates, roughly chopped
- 100g/3½oz chia seeds
- 2 tbsp warm water
Method
Pour half the linseeds into a food processor with the remaining ingredients and blitz for 2–3 minutes, until just starting to come together.
Add the water and blend for 1 minute until it forms a purée – it won’t be smooth but it will hold together if formed into a ball.
Tip out onto a board and divide into 20. Roll each piece into a ball.
Put the remaining linseeds into a small bowl and roll the balls in the seeds to cover.
Recipe tips
These can be kept at room temperature, or in a sealed container in the fridge if the weather is warm.
