Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried apricots, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup almonds
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Directions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by soaking the dried apricots in warm water for about 10 minutes. This softens them, making them easier to blend. Drain the apricots after soaking.

Blitz the Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, almonds, and chia seeds. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and resembles coarse flour.

Add Wet Ingredients: Add the soaked dried apricots, honey or maple syrup, freshly grated ginger, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture comes together and forms a sticky dough.

Form the Energy Balls: Using your hands, scoop up about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a compact ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Chill and Serve: Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least 10-15 minutes to firm up before serving.

Enjoy: Once chilled, your Apricot-Ginger Energy Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
