Ingredients

100 g oat flakes (coarse)
5 dried dates
3 dried figs
3 dried apricots
30 g ground cashews
100 g peanut butter or almond paste
2 tbsp dried berries to taste (e.g. cranberries)

Another approx. 100 g grated coconut for rolling

Preparation

Cut the dried fruits into small pieces and mix them with the remaining ingredients. Dilute with a little water if necessary. Leave to stand in the fridge for approx. 30 minutes. The mixture should now be easy to shape. Form balls with moistened hands and then roll in coconut flakes. The energy balls will keep for a long time in the freezer. So you can pack them in your lunchbox in the morning before the tour and enjoy them as a power snack on your hike.
