Cinnamon Pecan & Granola Balls

Delicious , lovely home made treat. The granola was lying around the house for a while so I decided to put it to use. Toasted Pecans with Cinnamon, some honey for sweetness, coconut fat to bind and dipped in chocolate to really put the tre in eat,

Makes 18-20 depending on size

Line a flat tray with parchment

220g Granola - I had low sugar one in the press, use what you have or lightly toast that amount of oats

125g pecans

1tsp Cinnamon

1tsp Vanilla

4-5tbsp honey

1heaped tbsp coconut fat

pinch of sea salt

175g chocolate drops or a bar cut small, I used 53%

Method

Toast the pecans gently 170C for 8 mins and sprinkle the cinnamon over and set aside to cool

Add the granola, pecans, coconut fat, honey to a blender, blitz to a fine sticky meal, you might have to scrape down a few times, Add the salt and vanilla and give it in a final pulse

Spoon rough spoons of the mixture out on to the lined baking sheet and put into the fridge for a while to start to harden up. This makes it easier to roll them or form them into domes. After about 15 minutes, take the tray out and roll each mound into the shape you want. Put them back into the fridge while you melt the chocolate.

Melt the choc over a bain marie, tip in each ball and roll to cover, set aside on the tray to set. Store these in the fridge between eating.
