Apricot Energy Balls
These apricot energy balls are made from dried apricots and almonds. They are a healthy balanced snack, ideal for lunchboxes, travelling and after the gym. Healthy apricot bites are naturally sweetened with dried fruit and a little honey and they taste delicious.
Equipment
- small food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 100 g dried apricots chopped
- 90 g ground almonds
- 2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 25 g chia seeds
Instructions
- Added the chopped apricots, chia seeds and honey to the food processor or blender. Blitz until a rough puree forms.
- Add the ground almonds and blitz again until the mixture comes together. If necessary, scrape down the sides of the blender and blitz again until fairly smooth.
- Divide the mixture into 12 pieces and roll into balls.
Notes
- If you want to add a decorative coating to the apricot balls, you can use either ground almonds or desiccated coconut if you prefer.
- If you are using a high-powered blender, you could use whole almonds in place of ground almonds.
- If your apricots are quite hard and dry, you can soak them in boiling water for a few minutes. Discard the soaking liquid.
