The wild effects of hunger
I am one of those that has a frequently growling tummy and it is just best for all those involved (with me) that the beast within me (my appetite) is tamed, frequently. I don’t feel naughty with these balls of apricot, nuts and Kellogg’s special K. They are bursting with spice, coconut and pistachio…keep them in the fridge and they will last a few days.
Ingredients to make approximately 18 snack balls
400g of dried apricots
50g Kellogg’s Special K, ground to a coarse powder
45g unsweetened desiccated coconut
45g coarsely ground pistachio
1 tbsp. chia seeds
3 tbsp. coconut milk powder
½ tsp. ground cardamom
A pinch of saffron powder
1 tbsp. cacao nibs
Method
- Blitz the apricots and coconut milk powder to a puree
- Combine the desiccated coconut, pistachio, Kellogg’s special K, cardamom, saffron powder, cacao nibs and chia seeds in a separate bowl and ensure they are evenly tossed
- Now bring together, gradually some of the nut and spice mix with the apricots and form them into a dough
- Shape and make 18 evenly sized balls and then you can either chill them I the fridge or consume immediately
