Apple & Cinnamon Protein Bliss Balls

Each week, I try to create a new bliss ball flavour. This week, I bought one too many apples. So, I thought I would make an apple flavoured bliss ball. I know cinnamon goes really well with apples. So, I came up with this apple and cinnamon protein bliss ball recipe. And the flavour combination did not disappoint. So, I am sharing the recipe with you to spread the love 🙂

Ingredients

• 1 Granny Smith apple, grated (you can use any apple that you like);
• 1 cup rolled oats;
• 4 tbsp. vanilla protein powder;
• 1/2 cup walnuts;
• 1/4 cup raw almonds;
• 1/3 cup raisins or sultanas;
• 1 tbsp. chia seeds;
• 1 tbsp. hemp seeds;
• 4 tbsp. pumpkin seeds;
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (you can add less if you do not like cinnamon as much as I do); and
• 3 tbsp. water (you may need less or more depending on the amount of water your grated apple holds).

Method

1. In a food processor, place all the ingredients except the grated apple, pumpkin seeds and water and process until it resembles cookie crumbs;
2. Add the grated apple and pumpkin seeds to the mixture and process until well combined;
3. Add water one tbsp. at a time until the mixture starts to resemble a cookie dough. I needed 3 tbsp. of water;
4. Once the mixture resembles a cookie dough, roll into bliss balls using a tablespoon as a guide to the size of balls;
5. Enjoy 🙂
