Got 15 minutes? That's all you need to whip up these Chocolate Beetroot Bliss Balls—no baking required! Simply toss the ingredients into a food processor, blitz away, and optionally roll them in coconut or cocoa for a finishing touch. They're ready to enjoy immediately, but I love storing them in the freezer for those afternoon cravings (yes, I eat them straight from the freezer!).
Ingredients
1 cup walnuts
1 cup rolled oats
1 packed cup pitted dates (Medjool or Deglet Noor)
½ heaping cup chopped raw purple/red beet
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
2 tbsp ground flaxseed (or flax meal)
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
¼ tbsp cinnamon
Pinch salt
1-2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Optional Coating
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup hemp seeds extra cocoa/cacao powder
Instructions
Add all ingredients in the order listed to a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine and then process continuously until the mix starts clumping together and rolling around in a ball.
Remove the mix from the processor. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons for each bliss ball and roll it between your hands. Roll in your chosen coating. Keep these in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
