    Thanks for sharing this!
    Really satisying, dense, not too sweet.

    No almonds, so I did (approx g)
    - 60 raw cashews
    - 20 linseed
    - 20 chia
    - 30 pepita
    - 30 sunflower seeds

    20 g coconut oil (i overscooped, didn't realise how dense it is!) but it worked OK

    I realised you can't batch roll the balls then roll them in the coconut - (to cut down on mixing ingredients) - the heat from just being rolled makes them slightly sticky, and the cocnut sticks better, leave them to do a bunch together and they cool, so it doesn't stick as well.

    I was hoping for more crunch from the chia, so I'll add it in in the last 10 seconds next time.

    Perfect! Used 1tbp maple syrup instead of coconut oil and only half the cocoa and they rolled perfectly and tasted so good!

    Made these for my sick 5yo who isn't eating. He loved them and I was pleased I could get something nutritious in his tummy. Little hard to roll (crumbled) but was able to just squeeze and shape in my hand.

    So easy and really yum. I tried using just 15g cocoa and that wasn't enough. It doesn't need the coconut oil I think.
