Notes
Nut-Free – simply substitute the nuts for pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, or linseed (also known as flaxseed). Linseed is especially high in fibre and protein.
What If The Date Balls Do Not Hold Together?
If the date balls are crumbly, slowly add in a bit of water into the food processor. You will likely not need much so make sure to pour only a small amount and then blitz everything.
What If The Date Balls Are Too Liquidy?
If your date balls are too liquidy, you can add some oats into your food processor and blitz. The oats will absorb some of the liquid and provide added fiber to the snack.
