Apricot-Ginger Energy Balls
This easy energy ball uses natural ingredients to give you a quick bite of energy when you need it. Dried apricots and honey hold together the coconut and oats, while ginger and tahini deepen the sweet flavours. Ready in just 25 minutes, you can have these as a grab-and-go breakfast, afternoon snack or sweet treat after dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups dried apricots
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 6 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of salt
Directions
Combine apricots, oats, coconut, tahini, honey, ginger and salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, 10 to 20 times, then process for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is crumbly but can be pressed to form a cohesive ball.
With wet hands (to prevent the mixture from sticking to them), squeeze about 1 tablespoon of the mixture tightly between your hands and roll into a ball. Place in a storage container. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
