I made some tasty Sunflower Carob Balls last night and wanted to share. I got the recipe from Rawsome:
2 cups sunflower seeds, sprouted - 1/2 for balls, 1/2 to roll them in
1/2 cup carob powder
1/2 cup almond butter or tahini (I used tahini)
1/2 cup dates (15 Halawi dates pitted and squished), soaked for 20 minutes, then pureed
1 teaspoon vanilla bean
The recipe also calls for 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup raisins, but I forgot those and it turned out fine.
Combine all ingredients (except 1/2 of the sunflower seeds) in the food processor and blend to paste. Take 1 T of paste and roll in remainder seeds, place in casserole dish, and refrigerate. Makes about 40 balls.
Rawsome recommends freezing, but I don't like to freeze enzymes. I would also recommend making sure the sunflower seeds are not wet when you use them.
