Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dates pitted
  • ½ cup carrot grated
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon desiccated coconut
  • 1 teaspoon oats optional, if required

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients except the desiccated coconut and oats to a food processor and blend until the mixture becomes a thick dough-like consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times. If the dough seems too wet, add a little oats.
  • Add the dough to a bowl or container, and cover. Set aside in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
  • Divide the mixture up into eight, and roll it into the energy balls.
  • Sprinkle the desiccated coconut on a plate or in a bowl and roll the energy balls so that they are evenly coated (optional step).

Notes

  • If your dates seem a little on the dry side, then soak in warm water for 5-10 minutes before blending with the other ingredients.
  • You will likely need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times.
  • If your dough seems a little too wet, add a pinch of oats to the mixture and blend for another minute.

Swiss Interest Group Histamine Intolerance (SIGHI) food compatibility list for histamine

All ingredients score 0 on the SIGHI list!
While SIGHI scores dates and cinnamon as 0, and so low histamine, other histamine lists have them as higher histamine, so please be mindful of your own sensitivities.
