As part of our Community Problem Solving project, we are going to be posting recipes using Indigenous ingredients to help promote their use as they are more sustainable for our land.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Makes: 25
Skill Level: easy
220 grams medjool dates (about 11-12 dates)
200 grams cashews (raw, unsalted)
1/2 cup quinoa flakes
2 tablespoon cacao powder
5 tsp Kakadu plum powder
2-3 tsp ground ginger - adjust according to taste
3/4 cup desiccated coconut OR 1/2 cup sesame seeds, OR a mix, for coating the balls
1. Remove the pits from the medjool dates and place in a food processor along with the cashews. Process so the dates and cashews break up a little, into a rough sticky crumb.
2. Add the quinoa flakes, cacao powder, ginger and Kakadu plum powder. Continue to process until the mixture forms a sticky dough. It will probably start to come together as one big ball in the food processor.
3. Scoop out heaped teaspoons of the mixture and roll into a ball. Roll in coconut or sesame seeds to coat. Repeat with remaining mixture.
4. Put the energy balls in the fridge, where they will firm up a bit.
5. Enjoy!
6. Keep them stored in the fridge where they should last for a few weeks. They can also be frozen if you want to keep them for longer!
