Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups tahini (nut butter)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup Shredded coconut for coating
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients, except the shredded coconut in a LARGE bowl.
- Mix by hand until all is well incorporated and combined and it sticks and holds together in a ball.
- Refrigerate until cold before you start to shape them.
- Use a dessert spoon, or 12.5 ml scoop and form balls (you can do bigger balls if you prefer) and once done roll in coconut.
- I measured the first 12 or so and then continued by eyeballing them for size.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray. Drop the shredded coconut on the parchment paper.
- Form the balls and lightly drop on the coconut and when you have about 12 or so, roll and cover them in the coconut.
- Continue until all is done.
- If you have any coconut left, move the balls around in the coconut and do your best to get as much of it on the balls.
- Leave it on the tray in the fridge to set and then store it in an airtight container in the fridge or if needed you can also freeze it.

Thanks for your kind words Nancy. I love these balls, and will make them again and often.
These sound delicious! They would make great snacks to take to work/school. Thanks for joining the Weekend Traffic Jam link up!

Yes, they are super easy and I just love it
Curious why the tahini instead of just peanut butter?
And would any dried fruit work for this? E.g. dates, apricots, or do you think the flavour combo works particularly well with raisins and cranberries?
Pritu. Good question why Tahini. I had a pot in the pantry and wanted to use what I had. Add for the fruit I am sure you can test others although I have only used this combo and I love it. Let me know how you adapt it and how it turned out. Enjoy
