An old family favourite, these tasty treats are made with whole food ingredients. They do contain some sugars in the form of honey (we use raw honey from our hives), raisins and coconut. Like all sweet treats, they should be eaten occasionally, not every day. No cooking required.
Ingredients:
100g butter
3 TBSP honey
2 TBSP carob
1-2 cups dried fruit (we use raisins)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (the chopped kind)
1 cup dessicated coconut
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 -1 cup milk
Method:
Melt butter, honey and carob in a pot. Add rest of ingredients, reserving some of the milk to add only if more moisture is needed. If too wet to stick, add more coconut and/or rolled oats. Form into balls and roll in extra coconut. Place on tray and set in fridge. Keep refrigerated, and eat 1 or 2 for a yummy treat.
Note: moderate salicylates and amines
