Energy Balls with Dates, Cocoa and Orange - Bake is Yum

Ingredients

• 1 cup ( 10 ) dates
• 1/2 cup ( 70 gr ) white almonds
• 1/2 cup ( 65 gr ) hazelnuts
• 1/4 cup ( 20 gr ) cocoa powder (plus extra for dusting)
• 1 tbsp almond butter
• 2 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 1 tbsp ( 40 gr ) honey
• 1 tbsp shredded coconut (plus extra for dusting) or coconut flour
• Add the dates, the almonds and the hazelnuts in the food processor. Process on high until they form a wet sandy texture and the nuts have blended into tiny pieces.
• Wear gloves and form small balls with your hands in the size of a walnut (about 3cm - 1").
• You can use whatever type of nuts you like instead of almonds and hazelnuts. Feel free to use walnuts, peanuts, pistachios or cashews in the same quantity.
• For a vegan version substitute the honey with maple or agave syrup in equal quantity.
