Chocolate and Pumpkin Seed Energy Balls

2 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

14 servings

  • 50g pumpkin seeds
  • 50g almonds
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 300g pitted medjool dates
  • 100g pumpkin seed butter
  • 15g cocoa powder

Chocolatey, nutty and so easy to make. These no-bake energy balls are packed with pumpkin seeds and almonds, then finished with a little cocoa for that chocolatey hit. Whizz, roll, chill and enjoy.

Method

Put the pumpkin seeds and almonds into a food processor with a pinch of salt and blend until fine. Add the remaining ingredients and blend again to make a smooth paste.

Divide the mixture into equal pieces, roughly 40-45g each, then roll into balls. Lay on a tray lined with greaseproof paper then chill uncovered for 2 hours until firm.

Tips

One energy ball is the equivalent to one snack; transfer the rest of the energy balls to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month.
