Ingredients
- 160g dried apricots
- 60g marzipan
- 50g sunflower seeds
- 50g flaked almonds
- 1tbs coconut oil
- 1bs wheatgerm
- pinch sea salt
Method
Blitz the apricots, marzipan, sunflower seeds, coconut oil, wheatgerm and sea salt in a food processor.
Add the flaked almonds, keep a few pieces back for the topping and blitz quickly.
Scoop out a ball of mixture, I like to use an ice-cream scoop as it helps to gauge the ball size.
Roll the ball mixture to a compact ball.
Top with a piece of almond flakes. This helps me to identify the flavour of the balls in the container I keep in the fridge or freezer.
