- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 10 mins
- Yield: 10-12 power balss
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 4 dried calimyrna figs, destemmed and chopped
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 1 cups gluten-free rolled oats*
- 2 tbsp goji berries
- 1.5 tbsp mulberries
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- Pinches of ginger, cloves and nutmeg
Caramel:
- 10 medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- 1 apple of choice, decored and chopped (I used Fuji), divided
- ⅛ tsp vanilla powder or extract (optional)
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- Pinches of ginger, cloves and nutmeg
Instructions
Dry Ingredients
- Place all of the dry ingredients, except for the oats, into a food processor and run until roughly chopped. Add in the oats and pulse to combine.
- Pour into a bowl and set aside.
Caramel
- Create your caramel by placing the caramel ingredients and only 3/4 of the apple into a food processor and process until smooth.
- Add in the remaining 1/4 of the apple and pulse until combined and chunky.
Assembly
- Pour all of the dry ingredients into the wet in the food processor and either mix or pulse until combined.
- If it is too sticky, pulse in or mix in more oats until it is sturdy, at a crust like consistency. If it is too crumbly, add more dates.
- Take about 1 1/2 tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls.
- Will keep in the fridge for about a week, and may even be frozen for longer.
Notes
I ended up having to add in a few tablespoons more of oats as mine was a bit too sticky.
To make these raw, use raw oats or sub in a dry ingredient, like more nuts, sunflower seeds, or sprouted buckwheat groats.
