Balls

are

so

fun!

........

(foodie blog today)

At

Christmastime

I made

lots of

balls:

Oreo Balls

and

Pumpkin Spice Cake Balls

both of which

received

RAVE

reviews!

I switched

Balls

up

a bit

to include

Carrot Spice Balls

Mint Oreo Balls

and

then

Cake Balls

which were good,

but

I

am not a

huge fan

of

canned cake frosting

SO easy!

As in

many o' blogs

before

I

am

once again

lamenting

that

John and I

no longer

eat

sugar

nor flour

and

still

we can't

seem to

rid ourselves

that

bad- boy Sweet Tooth

So

check

out these balls!!!!!

they

are

SO NOT

Oreo Balls

or

Pumpkin Balls

or

Cake Balls

but

they are

** pretty good **

(in a no sugar no flour kind of way)

no sarcasm intended,

but

I

simply

call them

BALLS

Grab your food processor.

1 c. walnuts (grind finely)

1 cup coconut flour

(it's a

"good flour"

from Whole Foods

1 c. medjoul dates (cut up)

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 c. unsweetened coconut

1/3 c, Agave syrup

1/4 c. Cacao nibs (optional)

Process

all together

until

mixture forms a ball

Roll into bite size balls

enjoy!

(attitude is everything)

BALLS

variations:

Use real maple syrup instead of Agave (I like much better)

Use dried apricots instead of dates (omit cacao nibs)

Use Brazil nuts instead of walnuts

Use almonds instead of walnuts
