Ingredients
  

For the Ball Base
  • 50 g linseeds (flaxseeds), divided Reserve half (25g) for rolling the balls
  • 250 g roasted unsalted peanuts

Preparation
  1. Set up your food processor. Reserve half of the linseeds in a small bowl for rolling the finished balls.
  2. Add the remaining linseeds, roasted peanuts, desiccated coconut, roughly chopped dates, and chia seeds to the food processor. Process for 2-3 minutes until the mixture starts to bind.
  3. Add the warm water and blend for another minute. The mixture should hold together but have some texture.
  4. Tip the mixture onto a clean board and divide it into 20 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
  5. Roll each ball in the reserved linseeds until coated. Store in an airtight container.
