Raw Coconut Fig Balls

Ingredients:

1.5 cups of dried figs, mashed
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon ground coffee or espresso
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup mixed nuts (almonds and walnuts), finely crushed into small pieces/ “flour”
extra unsweetened shredded coconut for coating

Directions:

Step 1: Mash up dried figs, either by hand in a ziplock bag or in a food processor. Fold in ground flax seed, 2 tablespoons of the coconut, ground coffee/espresso, cinnamon, and salt. If the mixture is too dry or hard to mix, add some almond milk, a little bit at a time. Add the nuts and mix well. Aim for a cookie dough consistency and then place the bowl into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 2: In a separate bowl or plate have some unsweetened shredded coconut ready for coating. Use hands to roll fig mixture into little balls (~1 inch diameter) and drop them into the coconut. Coat well.
