Gluten, Grain, Dairy, Egg, Nut and Refined Sugar Free
Vegan, Paleo and Gaps Friendly
Makes 12

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup (140g) sunflower seeds activated or raw *(see notes)
• 2 tablespoons cacao powder
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1-2 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 drops food grade peppermint essential oil
• pinch of salt
• 35g sultanas
  
  
  

METHOD:

1. Place seeds into a blender or thermomix until a flour consistency (thermomix 9 seconds speed 9)
2. Mix in cacao powder, coconut flour, coconut oil, honey, vanilla, peppermint, salt. The mixture may look a little dry but should ‘ball’ together. If you find that it still doesn’t, add another tablespoon of coconut oil. (This depends on how much moisture is in the seeds).
3. Add in sultanas.
4. Roll into golf ball sized balls and allow to set in the freezer for 1 hour.
5. Store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
   
   
   
   

NOTES:
* I activate seeds for easier digestion, but raw seeds will work just as well.
If you are able to tolerate nuts, they can be easily substituted in this recipe.
