Healthy Rum Balls

• 2 cups nuts raw mixed nuts

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1 teaspoon ginger powder

• 1 teaspoon mixed spice

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon cacao

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 10 fresh dates

• 1/3 cup rum

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• extra cacao or coconut for coating (optional)

Instructions

1. You don’t have to do this step but it does add a lovely flavour - Place nuts in a medium skillet on medium heat and toss them around for a few minutes until fragrant.

2. Place all dry ingredients into a food processor or high powered blender & blitz till fine crumb.

3. Add dates & other wet ingredients & process until a dough forms

4. With wet hands roll into balls and then coat in coconut or cacao powder. I find the easiest way to do this is to place desiccated coconut into a cup and tilt the cup back & forth to cover ball.
