- Ingredients
Scale
1x2x3x
1 cup raw cashews
1/3 cup buckwheat groats (not toasted kasha)
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
2 medium lemons (zest of 2, juice of 1)
7 – 8 medjool dates, pitted and chopped
pinch of mineral salt, optional
For rolling
1/4 – 1/2 cup shredded coconut flakes
Preparation
- Instructions
Place cashews, buckwheat groats and oats in food processor and blend until a medium to fine grind (doesn’t have to be perfect). The buckwheat may stay a bit chunky so if you’re looking for a smooth center use all oats.
Add the coconut, lemon zest + juice, and dates, blend, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides, until you have a doughy consistency. If you find your dough is a bit too dry try adding more fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Chill dough for about 20 – 30 minutes (this will help stiffen the paste for rolling). Roll into 1 inch balls, then roll in coconut flakes.
Makes approx. 14 – 18 balls
Store: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 – 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 – 3 months.
