Ingredients

• 110g whole pitted dates, preferably Medjool, finely chopped
• 125g un-sulphured apricots, chopped
• 4 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons xylitol
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
• 25g of mixed blanched almonds, chopped – preferably soaked overnight
• 25g Hemp seeds, roasted
• 2 teaspoons sunflower seeds, roasted
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, roasted
• 25g Hemp seeds raw
• 1 tablespoon of raisins
• 50g coconut, shredded
• Spirulina(optional) for taste

1. Mix dates, water, xylitol, vanilla and orange peel in a small, heavy pan and cook on low heat for 10 minutes so the dates are a thick mass and the water has evaporated off. Stir in the nuts, seeds (except raw hemp seeds), raisins and any optional extras like the Spirulina and let cool. Grease your hands with some hemp oil or butter and roll 1″ balls in the coconut and raw hemp seed, re-greasing your hands every four to five balls.
2. Roasting Seeds: Pre heat oven to 300 degrees.
3. Place Seeds on Oven tray covered with unbleached parchment paper
4. Drizzle with coconut oil
5. Bake for 20 minutes- being careful to watch the seeds. Once they begin to brown they are ready.
6. Take out of oven and cool for 15 minutes.
7. Cooking times may vary depending on seeds and oven temperature.
