Date-sweetened energy bites with chia, walnuts and sprouted oats. Pulse, roll and chill. No baking.
Ingredients (makes about 20)
- ½ cup Organic Chia Seeds
- ½ cup walnuts
- ½ cup sprouted oats
- 2 tbsp Cold-Pressed Organic Hemp Seed Oil
- 1 cup pitted dates
- ¼ cup other nuts (almonds, cashews or pecans)
Method
- Soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes to soften, then drain.
- Pulse the chia, walnuts, oats, hemp oil, dates and nuts in a food processor until sticky and even, scraping down the sides now and then.
- Check the texture. It should hold together when pressed. If dry, add a teaspoon of water or hemp oil. If wet, add more oats.
- Roll into small balls and chill until firm.
About the chia seeds and hemp seed oil
We were the first to bring chia seeds to the UK, and ours are organic, from growers in South America. They are mild, absorb liquid and help bind the mixture.
The hemp seed oil is cold-pressed from 100% organic hemp seeds grown in Europe. It has a smooth, nutty flavour. Use it in dressings and dips, and drizzle it over food after cooking rather than heating it.
Contains tree nuts.
