Methods for all is as follows
Using your food processor firstly whizz up the nuts or seeds to break them down. You still want them a little chunky so don’t whizz too much. 5/10 sec is plenty.
Add in the remainder of the ingredients and whizz until they all come together. You want the mixture to be sticky but not too wet.
If it’s too wet add extra oats or almond flour
If you feel its too dry a few tablespoons of water will bring it together
*You can roll balls in desiccated coconut or chopped nuts for that extra wow
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Using your hands roll the mixture into small balls and place in the tray on parchment paper.
