I’ve been trying to eat healthier and curbing the bad snacks have been a huge part of that. No more chips, biscuits and chocolates! But everyone now and then I do want to have something sweet and these are just sweet enough to get over that sugar craving.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup grated carrot, water squeezed out
• 1 cup dates
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, ground into flour
• 1/2 tsp mixed spice
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tb peanut butter
• 4 Tb desiccated coconut

Optional: Use oats instead of sunflower seeds

METHOD:

1. Soften dates with hot water if you need to. Blend everything in a food processor. Add more coconut if mixture is still sticky.
2. Put mixture to chill in fridge then portion and roll into balls when cold/stiff.
3. Roll balls in seeds, more coconut or leave plain.
