Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor (or high speed blender)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (160g) Sultanas (or raisins)
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds *If using an Australian tablespoon reduce this to 3 teaspoons.
  • ½ cup Boiling Water
  • 5 Wheat biscuits (weebix, weetabix etc) (75g if using broken biscuits / crumbs)
  • ¾ cup (60g) Desiccated Coconut
  • 4 tbsp Cocoa Powder *If using an Australian tablespoon reduce this to 3 tbsps.

Instructions

  • Add the sultanas and chia seeds to a bowl with boiling water. Allow to soak for 5-10 minutes. Drain, reserving the water.
  • Place the sultanas and chia seeds, along with the rest of the ingredients into a food processor. Blend on high until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed.
  • If the mixture is too dry to roll into balls, slowly add the reserved water 1 teaspoon at a time until the mixture comes together and you can form balls. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more coconut or weetbix. 
  • Roll mixture into balls. You can make them any size, I usually make tablespoon-sized balls.
