Ingredients (makes about 12 balls):
1 cup buckwheat flour or almond flour (low glycemic and nutrient-dense)
½ cup almond butter (healthy fats for energy)
2 tablespoons raw honey or coconut nectar (both low glycemic sweeteners)
1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds (rich in omega-3s)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added fibre and minerals)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder (anti-inflammatory superhero)
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder (supports circulation and immunity)
2 tablespoons unsweetened dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots or goji berries (antioxidant-rich and vitamin-packed)
2 tablespoons chopped dark chocolate or cacao nibs (for a magnesium boost and a touch of sweetness)
Pinch of sea salt or celtic salt
1–2 tablespoons water (if needed, for consistency)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, almond butter, and honey. Mix well until the ingredients form a dough-like consistency.
Add the flaxseeds, chia seeds, turmeric, cinnamon, cranberries, apricots or goji berries, chocolate or cacao nibs, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly.
If the mixture feels too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of water until it holds together when pressed.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week—or freeze for longer storage.
