Holiday Blissballs Recipe, sweet treats made without sugar, dairy, soya or wheat..


1 cup chopped nuts /or roasted sesame seeds

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup coconut, desiccated

½ cup rice bran



¼ cup oil (2 tablespoons)



Then add:



1 cup dried fruit or sultanas (chopped roughly)

½ teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon

3 tablespoons rice syrup

1 small banana, mashed

1 tablespoon either Peanut butter/or Nut Butter

Juice of one orange and rind (grated)

Apple juice to mix



Method;

Toast until lightly browned , rolled oats, bran and coconut with the ¼ cup oil, in a fry pan. Make sure you stir the contents during the roasting process.

Mix the mashed banana with the orange juice and rind and add peanut or nut butter.

Add nutmeg and rice syrup. Mix well.

Mix to a firm rolling consistency.

Tip: I put the ingredients into a food processor and process unitl smooth consistenct, however I like the consistency with chunky pieces left.

Add a little apple juice to help the mixture to bind together.

Form into balls and roll in the extra coconut.

Leave for several hours and to get firm or eat straight away and bliss out!

Store in the refrigerator.



Variations:

For a special party: soak the mixed fruit in the orange juice overnight.

I use nut butters occasionally as I like to vary the flavors.

Can add dried fruits, such as apricots, dates, apple etc.

Can dip the mixture into melted chocolate and leave to set.

Decorate with a swirl of running chocolate.

Children love these balls too!!

I vary the quantity of nut butters and often add less rice syrup..

Experiment and find what works for you..
