About

All the flavour of chocolate brownies and chocolate spread in a power ball, the only sweetness coming from naturally sweet high-fibre dates rather than refined sugar, so great for kids and adults too.

Ingredients

100 g/3¾ oz unblanched hazelnuts
100 g/3¾

Method

Add the hazelnuts to a frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes, shaking the pan until the nuts are evenly browned. Alternatively grill or broil on a piece of foil if preferred. Wrap in a kitchen towel and rub off the skins.
Add the toasted hazelnuts and oats to a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Add the dates, cacao powder, flaxseed
