Ingredients
1/4CupUnsweetened coconut flakes(optional)
1CupRoasted salted cashews(140g)
2CupsDried apricots(300g)
2tspCoconut oil,melted
Instructions
If using coconut flakes: preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spread the flakes on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 3-6 minutes. Watch them closely, as they burn quickly.
Place the cashews in a large food processor and process until crumbly and broken down. Add in the dried apricots and process until well mixed and the mixture begins to form a sticky dough.
With the food processor running, stream in the coconut oil. Process until it forms a ball.
Use a 1 Tbsp measure to scoop the ball and roll into bites*. Roll in toasted coconut, if using, and place onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Chill for an hour or so until they lose their stick, and then place into a container to store in the refrigerator.
DEVOUR as you need energy!
Notes
*If the dough is too sticky to roll right away, just chill it for 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator. But, mine was fine right away!
