VEGAN SALTED CARAMEL ALMOND BALLS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 180�C (356�F). Place 2 tbsp of the almonds onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cook for 8 minutes or until the almonds are slightly browned. They will also smell more nutty when done. When mostly cool, chop the almonds into small pieces. Place onto a plate mixed with 1/8 of the salt. Taste and add more salt if needed. Set aside.
2. Add the flaxseeds and hemp seeds to a high speed blender and blend until the seeds are a fine consistency. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of almonds and rolled oats and blend until they are a fine consistency as well.
3. Add the dates, vanilla and remaining 1/8 of the salt and blend until everything comes together and looks fudge like.
4. Roll the mixture into tablespoon sized balls. After you make each ball, roll them into the almond pieces. Doing this as soon as you rolled the mixture into a ball, ensures the almonds stick easily. Refrigerate for one hour or until cold before enjoying. Store these in the fridge.
