A healthy sweet treat to get the tastebuds tingling...
When on the go and looking for that healthy snack a little sweet nutty treat is perfect. These maple cinnamon balls are an easy to prepare recipe that can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
Maple Cinnamon Pecan Balls have a rich, almost gingerbread-like flavour thanks to the cinnamon and pure maple syrup.
The pecans add a slightly savoury element, and coconut and cashews add some creaminess and bring it all together nicely.
Maple Cinnamon Pecan Balls
Makes: approximately 20
Prep time: 20 minute Chill time: 20 minutes
1 cup pecans
1 1/2 cups cashews
2/3 cup desiccated coconut
3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/4 tsp vanilla powder
1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
Place the pecans and cashews into a food processor and pulse until you have crumbs.
Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until the mixture is evenly combined and comes together – it should look like a ball of cookie dough.
Roll spoonfuls of mixture into bite size small balls then place in the fridge to chill and firm up for 20 minutes.
Store these maple cinnamon pecan balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
