Winter Recipe: Ginger Balls

Author: Melissa Macchione Published on: December 21, 2018 Published in: TL Blog

This is a VERY new recipe. I love gingerbread but was never one to master the traditional cookie recipe. This is the closest I’ll ever get I guess. Let me know what you think! Too spicy? Do I need more sweet? Let me know!

Ingredients:

1 c. whole almonds

1 c. large flake oats

¼ c. hemp hearts

5 tbsp. black strap molasses

2 tbsp. almond butter

12 pitted Medjool dates

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. ground ginger

1/8 tsp. ground cloves

pinch sea salt

¼ c. homemade almond milk

hemp hearts (for rolling)

Directions:

1.	Place all of the ingredients up to and including the sea salt in a food processor or high speed blender and process until the mixture is fully combined.

2.	Cool mixture in refrigerator or freezer for 5-10 minutes (this makes it easier to roll….less sticky)

3.	Roll 2 teaspoons or so of the mixture into a ball using the palms of your hands (I coat my hands in coconut oil….again less sticky) and roll each ball in hemp hearts (I like Manitoba Harvest). Set aside and repeat with the remaining mixture.

4.	Store in the refrigerator for 7 days or freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
