Cardamom Banana balls
Seemingly sweet, these little desserts may not actually satisfy a sweet tooth. My family gave them the go-ahead but I wasn’t too impressed. Not bad for an experiment though and filled with fiber and nutrients. They certainly weren’t unagreeable.
Ingredients:
1 cup dates (soaked for an hour or so)
2 ripe bananas
1/3 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)
3 tbsp psyllium husk
1 heaping tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp cinnamon
2-3 dashes of fine sea salt
Directions:
Drain the dates and in a food processor blend them up to the consistency you desire. In a medium sized bowl mash the bananas, coconut, cinnamon, cardamom, psyllium husk. Add in the dates and a few pinches of salt.
In another bowl put some extra coconut for rolling (about a half cup). Roll the mixture into balls as best you can and roll into the coconut.
Place on a rack in your food dehydrator or eat them raw!
