Cherry and Almond Oat Balls

Method

Make it happen

1. 01

   If dates are firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes then drain thoroughly. Pulse the dates in a food processor until roughly chopped.

2. 02

   Add oats, nut butter, salt and the listed flavour ingredients. Pulse until the mixture holds together when squeezed; add 1 tbsp water only if too dry.

3. 03

   Pulse cherries and ground almonds with oats; add a few drops of almond extract.

4. 04

   With clean hands shape into 12 evenly sized balls, pressing firmly so they hold. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving; keep chilled in an airtight container.
