Date and Fig Balls

By Mrunal | Updated: 06/02/2019

These cute looking balls are a powerhouse of energy and nutrients. We have used black dates for making these. Since, this variety of dates is quite sweet, you do not need to add any additional sugar. If you have all the ingredients in place, it will take less than 10 minutes to create these beauties.

1 tbsp poppy seeds

Step 1

Churn the almonds in a mixer to a coarse powder. Add it into a bowl.

You can leave them as it is or roll a few in poppy seeds or cocoa powder for adding variety. Enjoy!
