TIPS
- Stick Balance: If the mixture is crumbly, add a drop more honey; if it is too sticky, add a pinch more oats.
- Even Texture: Grind sunflower seeds lightly for a smoother and uniform mix.
- Clean Bowl Trick: After measuring, use leftover coconut on a rolling surface to prevent sticking.
- Firm Formation: Roll between two sheets of baking paper to avoid mess.
VARIATIONS
- Choc‑Chip Twist: Stir in 5 dark chocolate chips before rolling.
- Zesty Lift: Add a pinch of orange zest for a spicy kick.
- Fibre Boost: Swap coconut for ground flaxseed for extra omega-3 fatty acids.
- Sweet Swap: Replace honey with maple syrup to make it fully vegan.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days; covering keeps moisture at bay.
- Freezing: Freeze individual balls on a tray, then transfer them to a sealed bag. Thaw in the fridge when needed.
