Any of you who know me, or have followed my work over the years, will know that I don’t tend to do simple; my recipes lean towards the more complex and multi stepped.

Well, today I decided that simple was what I wanted and needed, coupled with the fact that I have not had a sweet treat (aside from fruit) in about a week and want to keep refined sugars out of my daily diet as much as possible.

The ingredient that sets this recipe apart for me, and mainly why I am posting it, is the use of Raw Organic Whey powder. I used Vital Whey which I bought from Red 23.

If you don’t wish to consume dairy products of any kind, that’s wicked cool and I totally respect that. Replace the Whey for Fermented Rice Protein Powder, such as Sun Warrior Vanilla Flavour. Best price I have found in the UK is from Red 23. I specify Vanilla flavour because the Natural Flavour isn’t very nice. Yes, they both have stevia, but I SWEAR it’s not horrible. It’s really nice and you don’t get the Stevia aftertaste.

Ingredients

        150g almonds, soaked overnight and dehydrated (optional, but suggested)

 

        50g coconut sugar

 

        40g cacao powder + extra for dusting

 

        1 tsp vanilla Powder

 

        1/2 tbsp cinnamon

 

        20g-30g whey powder or rice protein powder

 

        6 soft medjool dates, stones removed

 

        40ml water, or as needed to bind

 

    • Handful Nibs, optional for texture

Method

    • In a food processor, process the first 6 ingredients until the almonds are broken down, but still have some texture to them (this is a matter of preference, you can process to a “flour” if you wish)
    • With the machine running, add the dates through the feed hole at the top one at a time then add nibs and pulse to combine and slightly break down.
    • Finally, add water as needed to bring the mix together into a loose ball, don’t add too much water.
    • Transfer to a mixing bowl and form the dough into “2 bite balls” or whatever you desire.
    • Lightly dust in cacao powder.
    • The main reason for the roll is that it makes them look pretty and keeps them from sticking together.
    • These can also be frozen (and will not stick because of the rolling ) and will not freeze solid, thanks to Mr. Medjool.
