Equipment Needed
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 70g Pumpkin seeds
- 20g Puffed quinoa
- 50g Sunflower seeds
- 80g Medjool dates, destoned
- ½ Tsp. Ground turmeric
- ½ Tsp. Ground cinnamon
- 1 Tsp. Quality cocoa powder
- 1 Tsp. Vanilla extract
- ½ Tbsp. Honey
- ½ Orange
Method
Blitz 40g of the pumpkin seeds into a fine dust in a food processor, then decant onto a plate.
Place the remaining pumpkin seeds and puffed quinoa in the processor with the sunflower seeds and dates, then blitz until finely chopped.
Add the ground turmeric, along with the cinnamon, cocoa powder and a pinch of sea salt. Blitz again until finely ground, then add the vanilla, honey and orange juice
Blitz for another 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides a couple of times. It takes a while for the mixture to come together, so be patient and let the processor work its magic.
With wet hands, divide into 24 and roll into balls, dropping them into the pumpkin seed dust as you go. Shake to coat and enjoy!
