Apricot Bites

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup almonds, sliced
• ¾ cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
• 1 ¼ cup apricots, dried, no sugar added
• 1/2 cup of cranberries
• ½ Tbsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp turmeric
• 1-2 Tbsp water

 Directions

1. In a food processor or blender, pulse the almonds until a rough meal. Then add ½ cup of the coconut flakes and pulse for a smaller sand-like texture.
2. Add the apricots, vanilla extract, ginger and turmeric and 1 Tbsp water to the mixture. Blend until a consistent paste. Add more water as necessary. Pulse in the cranberries.
3. Take ¾ Tbsp of the mixture (about the size of a quarter) and form into balls. Roll the balls in the remaining ¼ cup of coconut flakes. Place the bites onto a flat surface and enjoy!
4. Optional: dip half of each ball in melted dark chocolate.
