# Ingredients:
→ Essential Ingredients
01 -
1 cup old-fashioned oats (avoid instant)
02 -
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
03 -
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
04 -
8 pitted Medjool dates
05 -
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for optional rolling
06 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
07 -
A small pinch of sea salt (tweak for taste)
08 -
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for that citrusy touch)
# Instructions:
01 -
Throw the oats into your food processor and pulse them for 20 seconds until they break down a bit.
02 -
Add everything else to the food processor and blend until it all comes together and starts to stick.
03 -
Grab a small pinch of the mixture and squish it. If it's crumbly, toss in extra blueberries or a date. Too sticky? Add a bit more flaxseed or oats and pulse again.
04 -
Once it's holding its shape nicely, scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each one on a lined tray. Repeat till you've used it all.
05 -
If you want the coconut coating, process extra coconut in your food processor until finely ground. Roll your blueberry balls in the shredded coconut, then pop them back on the tray.
06 -
Chill the balls in the freezer for 10 minutes, then transfer to the fridge for about an hour to set. Once firm, store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
