Serves: 20 balls
Ingredients
- 100g Almond flour
- 20 dates – chopped
- 10 figss – chopped
- 85g ground flax
- 50g cranberries
- 60g desiccated coconut or coconut flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp macca
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp ginger
- ⅛ tsp allspice
- 4 Tbs filtered water (more or less depending on consistency)
Instructions
- Place all items in a food processor and blend.
- (If you can’t find Almond flour, grind whole almonds in your food processor. Make sure you don’t blend for too long as the heat from the motor may make your almonds more like mush rather than flour. You may have to scrap down the sides regularly as well)
- Take a heaped teaspoon out at a time and roll into balls between palms.
- If the balls stick to your palms, flick some water on your hands

I make something similar and was wondering what your mix of figs and dates is but I don’t see figs in the list of ingredients (just the pics and title) – please advise. Thanks!
That was really silly of me. Thank you for pointing this out. I’ll update it now.
Its 10 chopped figs.
Is your recipe much different?
These sound amazing. I love anything with dates.
I agree, dates are a yummy sugar substitute. Coupled with cranberries you cant go much wrong.
