INGREDIENTS

• 90g (1 cup) oats
• 30g (1/4 cup) pumpkin seeds
• 50g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut (or an extra half cup of oats for coconut free)
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 12 dried apricots (soaked in hot water for 10 minutes)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 120g (3/4 cup) grated carrot
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 4 tbsp smooth peanut butter

To serve

• extra desiccated coconut (optional)

METHOD

1. Add the oats, pumpkin seeds, coconut (if using), ginger and cinnamon to a food processor and blend until the pumpkin seeds and oats are completely broken apart and resemble a fine flour.
2. Then, add the soaked apricots, chia seeds and carrot and blend again until the apricots and carrot are also broken apart. The dough should start to form into a ball in the food processor.
3. Finally, add the coconut oil and peanut butter to the blender and blend until fully combined.
4. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball, then coat in a little extra coconut if using.
5. Repeat until the mixture is all used.
6. Refrigerate for an hour until set.
7. Store in the fridge until ready to eat!
