Yum Yum Plums
Makes 15 "yum-yum" balls.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plums, soaked for 2 hours (pour off soak water and drink or save for a smoothie)
- 1-1/2 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
- 1 tsp vanilla flavoring
- 1/8 tsp unrefined salt
- 6 Tbsp raw honey
- 2-4 Tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds (by hand or in processor)
- Carob powder to roll balls in (optional)
Directions
- Put soaked plums in a food processor until they are almost gooey. A few small hunks are fine.
- Transfer plums to a bowl and add shredded coconut. Sit together well.
- Add honey, salt and vanilla. Stir well.
- Stir almonds into your mixture.
- Add ground flax seeds to thicken. Within a few minutes, flax seeds absorb excess moisture (don’t make the mixture too hard). Start by mixing in 2 Tbsp of ground flax seeds. If it still seems too wet to roll in balls, stir in another tablespoon and let it stand for a couple of minutes. Add enough flax seeds to give a firm enough texture to roll balls that are somewhat sticky.
- Roll mixture into balls approximately the size of a golf ball. You could also roll them in carob powder for a different taste and appearance.
