These balls of chocolatey-orangey deliciousness are packed with super foods, completely nourishing, refined sugar and gluten free, so easy to make and taste amazing.
Makes 12 balls:
- 100g raw activated buckwheat (soak overnight)
- 1 tbsp orange juice
- Orange rind of one orange (grated)
- 1 tbsp orange blossom extract
- 3 tbsp raw cacao
- 2 tsp maca powder (optional)
- 7 medjool dates/ 10 deglet noors, pitted
- 3tbsp rolled oats
- 1tsp coconut oil
Simply place your buckwheat (rinsed and drained) in your food processor with all other ingredients, and process on the highest speed, until you have a doughy mixture.
If your mixture is too sticky to roll into balls just yet transfer your mixture into a bowl and place it in the freezer for 5 minutes or so (this will allow the coconut oil to solidify as it would have become liquid during the mixing process).
Now when you have a more solid dough, use a tea spoon to portion your scoops of the mixture, and roll into balls. You can use cacao powder to act as flour. You can coat them in different toppings of your choice too, such as goji berries, hemp seeds, dessicated coconut, pumpkin seeds, etc.
Place on a tray lined with parchment paper, and leave to set in the fridge, OR if you're feeling impatient leave them to set in the freezer for just less than 10 minutes.
Hope you enjoy!
