Turmeric Energy Balls
- 15 medjool dates
- 1 ¼ cups almonds
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ⅓ cup tahini paste
- ½ tbsp turmeric matcha
- turmeric matcha (optional) to decorate
- poppy seeds (optional) to decorate
Turmeric Energy Balls
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees F 82.2 degrees C. Line a baking tray with paper.
Add almonds to baking tray and toast toast for 4 minutes
Remove pit from dates and discard
Add almonds to a food processor and blitz to combine
Add dates and blitz again
Add tahini and blitz
Pour in coconut oil and blitz
Add turmeric matcha and blitz to combine
Roll into balls
Coat with poppy seeds or additional turmeric match powder (optional)
- You don't have to toast the nuts, but I think you get an overall better flavour to the energy balls when you do. If you are short on time, you can skip this step.
- These snacks will keep in the fridge for at least 2 weeks and for about 3 months in the freezer
- You can use plain turmeric for these or turmeric match like I did
- The turmeric powder or turmeric matcha powder has a strong bitter, powdery taste, I would not recommend coating all of the energy balls in it or using too much as it will overpower the flavour of them
- If using plain turmeric, the balls will be slightly more yellow, as the turmeric matcha is a combination of powdered green tea and spices so it has a more green than yellow colour
