This Elderflower Energy Ball Recipe is a great way to utilise the Elderflowers in creating something that great for you and works really well as a snack during a hike.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of ground almonds (or other nuts/seeds of choice or more oats)
- 2 tablespoons dried rose petals
- 1 1/2 cups of dates or figs (if not medjool dates then soak in hot water for ~10mins beforehand)
- 2 tablespoons dried Elderflower
- 2 tablespoons dried and ground fig leaves (optional)
- Some flaked coconut (optional)
Method:
1. Add all ingredients except dates to food processor and blend until well combined.
2. Add dates and blend until mixture forms into a ball, add water (that dates have soaked in if using…or maple syrup to sweeten to taste) if mixture is too dry
3. Remove from blender and roll into individual balls to size of your choice/appetite!
4. I like to toll them in flaked coconut sometimes too – see below
