Coconut & Apricot Balls
Makes approx 16 balls
Ingredients
85ml honey
30g butter
30g coconut oil
50g ground almonds
30g pecans, finely chopped
30g walnuts, finely chopped
50g desicated coconut
50g oats
30g dried apricots, chopped
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Method
Melt the butter and coconut oil in a saucepan with the honey, and then add all the other ingredients.
Taking handfuls of the mix in one hand, make firm bite sized balls and place on to a plate and chill to firm up in the fridge.
Alternatively you can actually bake them to make delicious coconut granola biscuits. Simply roll into balls and flatten slightly to form a biscuit shape.
Preheat the oven to 180C and bake for 15 minutes until golden and crunchy.
Leave to cool and help set their shape before eating.
Either way you like them - raw or cooked - they are a wonderful, grab-able snack full of goodness.
