Ingredients

(makes approx 18) 

200g pecans 

10-12 pitted dates 

4 tbsp Desiccated coconut (plus extra for decoration)

Zest of 2 lemons 

2 tbsp chia seeds

2 tbsp of coconut jam 

2 tbsp of coconut oil

Pinch of sea salt 

Method 

Measure out your coconut oil and melt on a low heat in a pan. Whilst this is melting, measure out the rest of your ingredients and add to your food processor. Pour in your melted coconut oil and give it a good blitz. Then take a heaped tbsp of your mix and roll it into a ball in your hands. You can even roll each ball in a little desiccated coconut for a little bit more of a crunch. Simple. Then repeat until you've got a jar full of yummy balls.
