Maca Chickpea Balls

+

Ingredients:

scant 2 cups cooked chickpeas or 1 can chickpeas, drained and RINSED well (no-salt added)

1/4 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew, walnut, etc.)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or raw honey)

2 tsp vanilla

2 tbsp maca powder

2 tbsp whole flaxseeds, freshly ground

For toppings (optional):

Goji berries, hemp seeds, flaxseeds (ground), nuts, cacao nibs, toasted oats, chocolate chips, raisins, cinnamon, various dried fruit, coconut flakes, possibilities are endless!

Combine all ingredients except toppings in a food processor or crappy magic bullet and blend until all is combined. I blended the flax prior to everything else, just to make sure they were ground. If you’d like to add in some chocolate chips (which I do recommend), then mix in with the batter now. I omitted the chips because I knew I was going to eat the whole batch… >.<

Roll into balls and add toppings if desired.

Place on a tray or in a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until they set. Devour.
