Ferrero Rocher Inspired Bliss Balls

Ingredients:

130g or 1 cup raw hazelnuts

160g or 1 ½ cup oat flour

25g or ¼ cup cacao powder

120ml or ½ cup plant milk

50g or 3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

3 whole dates, pitted (70g)

60g maple syrup

1 pinch of salt to taste

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
2. Place the hazelnuts onto a baking tray and bake for 5-10 minutes or until golden.
3. Once they have cooled enough to touch, peel the skin off. An easy way of doing this is by placing them into a jar and shaking.
4. Save ¼ cup of the hazelnuts for later.
5. In a food processor or blender, blitz the hazelnuts with the plant milk, coconut oil, dates, maple syrup and salt, until a thick paste-like consistency.
6. Pour the hazelnut paste into a mixing bowl with the oat flour and cacao powder. 
7. Mix until well combined.
8. Finely chop the remaining hazelnuts.
9. Roll the mixture into balls and then roll onto the hazelnut chunks to coat them.
10. Refrigerate until you’re ready to eat them.
