Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (90g) Rolled oats
  • ¼ cup (35g) (35g) Flaxseed Meal (Linseed Meal)
  • 1 cup (200g) Canned Pineapple Chunks
  • 1 cup (80g) Desiccated Coconut (+ extra for rolling)
  • 1 tsp Ginger Puree
  • ½ cup (120g) Dried Apricot

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until combined. 
  • Divide the mixture into balls of your preferred size; for reference, I used a tablespoon to create tablespoon-sized balls. Roll into balls
  • Roll in desiccated coconut to coat. 

Notes

Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly, add a splash of water or pineapple juice, one teaspoon at a time, until it holds together when pressed. Conversely, if the mixture is too wet, add a bit more desiccated coconut or oats to balance the texture.
