Matt Golinski’s Dried Apricot, Coconut and Sunflower Seed Balls

Makes 18 balls (1 ball per serve)

A sweet treat that packs an extra nutrition punch, with both coconut and sunflower seeds adding in some healthy fats, fibre and protein. Unlike the store-bought apricot balls ,these guys rely on the natural sweetness of the apricots alone, while delivering a good dose of fibre.

Ingredients

250 gm dried apricots
100 gm sunflower seeds
50 gm desiccated or shredded coconut
extra 30gm desiccated coconut for rolling

Method

• Place all ingredients except the extra coconut into the bowl of a food processor and blend until they all come together into a rough paste.
• Roll into 20 gm balls and toss in the extra coconut, pressing it firmly into them so it sticks.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to 12 months!
