Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond meal
- 3/4 cup nut butter (I use 1/4 cup almond butter, 1/4 cup sunflower seed butter and 1/4 cup tahini/sesame paste)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds or sesame seeds (or a mix of both)
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Zest of 1/2 large orange
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (sweetened with fruit juice if you can find them that way)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut or almond meal (optional)
- sesame seeds or shredded coconut, for rolling
Instructions
- Combine almond meal, nut butter, chia or sesame seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, orange zest, dried cranberries and spices in large bowl and mix well. If the mixture seems too wet, add the additional shredded coconut or almond meal until you have a firm dough to roll.
- Form into balls. Roll them in sesame seeds if you like.
- Place balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
- Store in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container.
