Sunnyside Su's Sensational Cookie Dough Energy Balls
[Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Paleo & Vegan!]
[Makes 30- approximately]
Ingredients
1 cup cashews natural cashews [150g] [These will need to be roasted.]
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
1.5 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
pinch of coarse salt
2 tbsp of cacao nibs or dairy/gluten free chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Roast cashews on a cookie sheet for approximately 8 minutes.
Once the cashews are cool enough to handle, add them to the food processor and blend on high until you have a very fine "cashew flour." Continue blending until it is so fine that it is starting to stick together like the early stage of cashew butter.
Drizzle in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla and sprinkle in a pinch of coarse salt. Blend on high until you have a smooth mixture. When you pinch it between your fingers it should stick together.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add in the cacao nibs or chocolate chips.
Use a teaspoon measure to roll into balls that are fairly small to make 30.
Refrigerate or freeze immediately. I tend to store mine in the freezer.
