Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the roughly chopped figs with the dates. Pour the boiling water over the dried fruit; soak for 15 minutes or until soft.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in the bowl of a large food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the lightly toasted hazelnuts and large flaked oats until nuts are a medium-fine grind. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Add in the dried apple pieces; toss to combine.

Step 3

Drain the figs and dates, reserving 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the soaking liquid. Place soaked dried fruit into the bowl of the food processor. Add in the Redpath® Organic Granulated Sugar, the reserved soaking liquid, tahini, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, espresso powder, and salt. Process until a smooth paste forms.

Step 7

With clean hands, roll scoops into balls. Leave bites as is, or roll bites into cocoa powder or oats. For added crunch, roll bites into coarsely ground toasted hazelnuts. 

Step 8

Place bites in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for 1 month.

Chef's Tip


*Use organic produce and products wherever possible. They can be found in the organic aisle of any major grocery store, or in health food stores. 

*If serving these to young children, omit the espresso powder. 

*Tahini can be replaced with any nut butter (hazelnut, almond, peanut).
