Almonds and pecan nuts are the stars of this nut balls with dark chocolate and coconut recipe, but you can replace them or add walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, or macadamia nuts. These are all great sources of healthy fats. Dates give sweetness and important addition of fibre.

• 12 dates, stoned and coarsely chopped

• 1 cup ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tbsp water

 

Instructions

• Pulse all the ingredients except for the flaxseed in a food processor until broken into crumbs. Add the flaxseed and process into a sticky mixture.
