Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter or Tahini
- 1⁄3 cup honey
- 2 tsp raw cocoa powder optional
- 1⁄2 cup Linseed Meal ground linseeds
- 1⁄2 cup Chopped Raisins *
- 3⁄4 cup Desiccated Coconut

- 1⁄2 cup Roasted Almonds ground for coating
Servings:
Instructions
- Mix the peanut butter/tahini, honey and cocoa powder well. Add the linseed meal, dried fruit, coconut and chocolate chips and mix well with your hands. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Place the ground roasted almonds in a bowl. Shape the refrigerated mixture into small balls, then roll them in the almonds to coat the outside.
Recipe Notes
Variations:
-To make nut free power balls, use tahini only (make sure it’s not too runny or you will have to thicken it with extra ingredients like more coconut, flaxseeds, or try oatmeal or quinoa flakes).
-Replace peanut butter with a different nut butter such as almond or hazelnut.
-Use your imagination with the outside coating- coconut, sesame seeds or other ground nuts create different effects and flavours
* Raisins may be substituted for other dried fruits, like sultanas or dried apricots
