About the recipe
These super-nutritious Granola Dust energy balls are perfect for snacking on the go. Three energy balls equals 1 serving.
Ingredients
200g Granola Dust
1 heaped tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 orange
Top Tip
For a different vibe, replace the orange zest and juice with 2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut, and gradually add splashes of water until the mixture comes together. Roll the balls in another 2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut before serving.
Method
- Put 2 tablespoons of Granola Dust aside in a shallow bowl or airtight container and set aside.
- Place the remaining Granola Dust in a food processor with the honey, cocoa powder and vanilla extract, then zest in the orange and squeeze in half of the juice.
- Blitz for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides a couple of times, and adding an extra squeeze of orange juice to bind, if needed – it takes a while for the mixture to come together, so be patient and let the processor work its magic.
- With wet hands, divide into 18 and roll into balls, dropping them into the remaining Granola Dust as you go.
- Shake to coat, storing them in the excess dust until needed. They’ll keep happily for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
