Did you like playing with play-doh as a child? Today while preparing small balls with chickpeas I remembered this pastime. I liked to make small animals and stick figures the most. Then when I bought some modelling clay, I hardened them in the oven and gave them to anybody who was interested in them. I think that my grandma had the biggest collection.
Today I played like a child with a very nice and smooth chickpea mixture. The small balls are not too sweet, slightly chocolatey and healthy, so everybody can eat them. I like healthy sweets which I can eat without any remorse.
The recipe comes from the book „Jeść zdrowiej" (Eat more healthy).
Ingredients:
200g of tinned chickpeas
2 tablespoons of cocoa
5-6 tablespoons of maple syrup
60g of coconut oil
for decoration: cocoa, finely chopped nuts
Melt the coconut oil. Blend the chickpeas, cocoa and maple syrup to make a smooth mixture. Leave in the fridge for an hour. Make small balls from the mixture. Coat them with the cocoa and chopped nuts. Keep the balls in the fridge.
Enjoy your meal!
