Date, Oat, Coconut Balls
1c honeyed dates
1c oats
2T chia seeds
coconut or crushed pecans/almonds for rolling the date balls in
If your honeyed dates are tough, you will need to boil them in water for 5 mins., drain the water and mash the dates in a bowl with a fork. Add the oats and chia seeds then roll into a ball. If it is still sticky add more oats. Then roll the balls in shredded coconut or chopped nuts. Refrigerate for at least 30 mins. Quick and easy yet yummy snack!
Tell me about the arrowroot powder?
ReplyDeleteArrowroot powder is a all natural thickening agent. It comes from a plant and actually has many minerals in it. It is not modified like cornstarch. It works great in everything soups, sauces, puddings etc. :)
