Hi Lovelies, have just come from the kitchen and want to share my easy peasy goodness gracious great balls recipe with you all. These balls are so easy to make in 5 minutes and are a guaranteed success with children. My girls sometimes find it hard at school with all the other children and their packaged chippies and the likes but when they took goodness gracious great balls the other children were hounding them to try and once they did they were amazed at how good they tasted. Going by most children’s lunch boxes these days I was not suprised they liked them, it is probably the only real food they get!
Here goes, enjoy.
1 cup of cashews
1/2 cups pistachios (purchased raw from indian spice shop)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup oats
1/2 t cinnamon and pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of chopped dates
agave or runny honey to form stickier balls.
Put the nuts in a food process until they are quite ground. Add in oats, cinnamon and salt and pulse for another 30 secs or so. Add chopped dates and continue until the mixture starts to get sticky, if it doesnt get sticky slowly drizzle in agave or honey until you have desired consistency to be able to form balls with your hands. Make sure not to over process nuts as the mixture can become too oily. Have fun in the process, making balls like this to the perfect consistency is a matter of practice. If you find the mixture isnt able to form balls. I have used this recipe also as a mueslie, just make almond milk, poor over and enjoy.
PS. I love the name here I came up with, if you are bored in your life and want some random craziness, start making yourself laugh by coming up with different names for the food you are eating. Life has become far to stuffy, so many rules and the like and way to much boringness everywhere. Be bold, be brave, be random, make yourself laugh today by stepping outside your comfort zone and doing something different.
Bless!
