Ingredients
- ⅓ cup hemp hearts
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates
- 2 tbsp carob powder {I used toasted, but raw would be fine too}
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp cayenne
Coating Ingredients:
- approx. 3 more tbsp hemp seeds for rolling or extra carob powder.
- more hemp hearts / carob for rolling — makes 8 balls
Instructions
- Place all ball ingredients in a food processor and process until an almost smooth uniform mixture forms {it will begin to ball up at that point}.
- Scoop out small amounts and shape into balls {I got 8}. Spread the coating hemp seeds or carob for rolling on a place. Roll each ball to coat. Place in the fridge for approximately 15-20 minutes to firm up a little or enjoy straight away {I preferred mine chilled}. Store leftovers in the fridge.
