AuthorJohnna
Ingredients
3/4cupraw sunflower seeds, soaked in water overnight and drained
1/4cupraw nut butter of your choice OR raw sunflower butter
3T. maple syrup, raw agave or raw local honey
1/4cupraw cacao powder
2Tablespoonsmaca powder(replace with cacao if you don't have maca)
2T. coconut oil, softened but not liquified
1/2t. cinnamon
1/4t. raw vanilla powder(or scrape 1/4 of a vanilla bean)
dash of sea salt
raw cacao nibs for rolling, about 1/2 cup (I break mine up a bit in the food processor)
Instructions
Place all ingredients except the cacao nibs in either a high speed blender or food processor with the "s" blade. Process until smooth.
Put mixture in a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. It will be firm enough to roll into a ball. Roll into 12 to 14 balls. Roll each ball in cacao nibs.
