1. Add oats and dates to a blender and mix until the oats are incorporated into the dates.

2. Add the other ingredients and beat until it all comes together, you should be able to roll then into a ball without sticking to your hands.

3. With your hands roll into 40g balls. If the mixture is too dry add a touch more honey, if it’s too sticky them add more coconut, oats or seeds. It all comes down to the moisture content of the dates used.

5.. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until all eaten - they won’t last long enough to go off!
