Servings: 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut shreds packed
- ¾ cup sunflower seeds raw
- 2 tablespoon gluten-free oats certified gluten-free
- 1 ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest organic, use a grater
- ¾ tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for vegans
- 1-2 tablespoon water spring
Chocolate Sauce
- ½ cup dark chocolate morsels
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil packed, solid
Instructions
- Blast sunflower seeds on high in a food processor for 3-4 minutes, occasionally scraping sides and bottom with a spatula or spoon. You’ll want to process these until you get a cookie consistency.
- Then add all the other ingredients except the water and blast on high for an additional 2-3 minutes. Set your timer.
- In the meantime prepare to make the chocolate sauce if you want to make your bliss balls chocolate covered. For the chocolate sauce microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwavable bowl on 20-second intervals until melted. Max 1 minute. Mix well in between each interval. Set aside.
- Then add the water to the food processor 1 tablespoon at a time (max 2) until your mixture forms into a ball or is sticky enough to roll into balls.
- Prepare a cupcake tin with liners.
- Form 12 balls from the mixture. Roll in poppy seeds or just cover in melted chocolate and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Stores well in the freezer. Keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
- When rolling the dough your hands will be sticky. Rinse your hands with warm water in between each roll, it makes the bliss ball smoother.
- You can also roll your bliss balls in grated coconut shreds, or chia seeds.
- All time frames will differ depending on the power of your food processor. Plan accordingly.
- Gluten-Free oats I used are Bob's Red Mill
- I also love to use these poppy seeds that are organic
- I grate my organic lemons myself using this handy cheese grater
