TAHINI BALLS
1/2 C tahini
1/4 C ground sunflower seeds
1/4 C ground pumpkin seeds
1/4 C ground almonds
7 drops of liquid stevia
Mix and roll into balls. You can also roll them in coconut flakes or sesame seeds.
TEFF AND ALMOND BALLS
1 C cooked Teff grains
1 C almond butter
1/4 C almonds
1/4 C sunflower seeds
1/4 C sesame seeds
5-10 drops liquid stevia
1 T raw honey
1/4 t vanilla
1/4 t cinnamon (optional)
Coconut flakes (optional)
Cook Teff grain to very hard, dry state (1/4 c Teff grains to 1 C water). Grind the seeds and the almonds. Combine all ingredients and roll into one-inch balls. Refrigerate and serve. Variations: Add 4 chopped dates or 1/4 C chopped raisins; roll balls in ground seeds or coconut flakes. Teff is a very filling cereal grain that makes a great base for cookie treats. Instead of Teff, consider substituting cooked millet or amaranth. Makes about 36 balls.
