Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out all your ingredients and set them on your kitchen counter.
- If your coconut oil is solid, gently melt it by placing it in a small bowl and microwaving for 15-20 seconds, or until it's liquid.
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the oats, coconut meat, and sunflower seeds.
- Pulse the mixture a few times until it’s finely ground and well mixed.
- Add the raspberries to the food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and the raspberries are fully incorporated.
- Slowly pour in the melted coconut oil as the food processor continues to run. This will help bind all the ingredients together.
- After blending, check the consistency of the mixture. It should be sticky enough to hold together when pressed. If it’s too dry, add a few more raspberries or a small amount of water, one teaspoon at a time. If it’s too wet, add a few more oats.
- Scoop out portions of the mixture using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop.
- Roll each portion between your palms to form bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Place the raspberry bliss balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month. If you freeze them, let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.
Tips:
- Use frozen raspberries if fresh ones are not available.: Frozen raspberries can be more convenient and are often just as nutritious as fresh ones.
- Soak the sunflower seeds beforehand.: Soaking the seeds can make them easier to blend and can enhance their nutritional benefits.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking.: You can add a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- Chill the mixture before rolling into balls.: Allowing the mixture to chill for 30 minutes can make it easier to handle and shape into balls.
- Store in an airtight container.: Keep the bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness for up to a week.
