Steps

5 mins

1

Take around half of the hazelnuts and blitz them in a food processor until they are in tiny pieces.
2

Pit the 200g of dates and add them to the food processor. Add the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1½ tablespoon of cocoa powder and around half of the raisins to the food processor as well.
3

Blitz it all together until you have the start of a sticky mixture. If it's not quite sticky enough then add a few more dates.
4

Add the rest of the hazelnuts and raisins and pulse it a few times to make sure it's all mixed together.
5

Using your hands grab a small amount and roll it into a ball shape. Do the same until all of the mixture is used - it should give you around 16-18 energy balls.
6

Put them in the fridge for an hour or so to set and then store them in an air-tight container in the fridge.

Eat and enjoy!
