60 minThese little golden bites are the snack drawer hero you didn’t know you needed.
Dried apricots, pecans, shredded coconut, and precooked barley get blitzed in a blender, then bound together with raw honey and a squeeze of lemon juice. Roll them into balls, coat in chopped nuts, and stash them in the fridge.
No baking, no refined sugar, no complicated steps. Just real ingredients that taste like sunshine and give you actual energy instead of a sugar crash. They keep in the fridge for over a week, if they last that long.
Pro Tips
- Use soft, plump dried apricots for the best texture. If yours are rock-hard, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and pat dry.
- Pulse in the blender rather than running it continuously. You want a sticky, chunky mixture, not a paste.
- Wet your hands slightly before rolling so the mixture doesn’t stick to your palms.
