This month Cacao escape session has a favourite plant based desert!!!
All you need is 15 minutes to make these Beetroot-Cacao energy balls!No baking required! You blitz the ingredients together in a food processor then roll them in desiccated coconut and they're ready to eat.
Keep them in the freezer for your afternoon cravings.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup walnuts
1 cup regular rolled oats (or gluten free if regular is an issue)
1 packed cup pitted Medjoo dates (soaked in hot water at least fir 15 minutes)
½ heaping cup chopped raw purple/red beetroot
¼ cup unsweetened cacao powder
2 tbsp ground flaxseed (skip it if you don't have it in your cupboard, NO PANIC)
½ tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
¼ tbsp cinnamon
Pinch salt
1-2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Coating 1/4 cup desiccated unsweetened coconut
INSTRUCTIONS
Add all ingredients in the order listed to a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine and then process continuously until the mix starts clumping together and rolling around in a ball. Remove the mixture from the processor. Scoop out about 1 teaspoon for each bliss ball and roll it between your hands. Roll in coating. Keep these in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
NOTES: If you've chosen to omit the maple syrup and the mix is too dry and not sticking together, add a tablespoon of plant-based milk or leftovers of date water after they are been soaked, while the mix is processing.
Enjoy 😉
