Title: Apricot Balls
Post by: Kimmyh on December 16, 2012, 02:34:07 am: Apricot Balls
I know there are a few recipes for these, but this recipe from AWW magazine is quick and nut and sugar free.
They are great for school lunchboxes too.

Ingredients:
150g dried apricots (must use the soft and juicy dried apricots not the hard ones)
60g oat bran
40g dessicated coconut
25g skim milk powder
2 tbsp boiling water
Extra dessicated coconut for rolling

Method:
Place apricots into TMX and blitz 10 seconds, speed 6 or until finely chopped.
Add rest of ingredients and mix 10 seconds, speed 4.
Roll heaped teaspoons of mixture into balls and then roll balls in extra coconut.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Makes approx. 20 depending on size of balls.

Uni - very nice and easy recipe thanks kimm. I used 200 g dried apricots, 60 g of CADA and only 20 g coconut. I don't like any type of dried fruits but these are yum.
