Chai Energy Balls
Ground cardamom adds that chai flavor to these no-bake energy bites, quickly prepared in the Flex+ Food Processor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 mL) unsalted roasted sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup (60 mL) honey
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) water
- 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp (2 mL) vanilla extract
- ½ tsp (2 mL) ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
- 12 oz. (350 g) dried pitted dates (about 2 cups/500 mL)
- 1 cup (250 mL) unsweetened flaked coconut
Directions
- Add the sunflower seeds, honey, water, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, and salt to the food processor bowl. Pulse 3–5 times to chop the sunflower seeds.
- With the Food Processor running, gradually add the dates. Process until a thick paste forms, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides halfway through.
- Place the coconut into a shallow bowl. Scoop the date mixture into approximately 2-tbsp (30-mL) balls and roll in the coconut to coat. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Refrigerate or freeze to store.
