PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE
- Grind oats into a powder with a blender or coffee grinder. For a nutty flavor, dry roast oat flour for 5 minutes in a frying pan on medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside. Meanwhile melt the ghee/butter on the stove top.
- Dry roast fenugreek seeds in a frying pan until lightly browned (3-5 minutes), stirring regularly. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a blender, puree dates, almonds and cashews. In a bowl, mix all ingredients except the ghee/butter. Then mix in the ghee. Mix well.
- Take a handful of the mixture and roll into a ball about the size of a golf ball. If the mixture is dry, add more ghee/butter a little at a time. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
For a smoother finish, try rolling them on a muslin cloth a few hours after making!
Store at room temperature in an airtight container. If using ghee, these will keep for up to 3 weeks. If using butter, consume within a couple of days.
