Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups sunflower kernels (or 1 cup sunflower butter)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp cup raw, organic honey
  • ¾ cup protein powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • ¼ cup dessicated coconut
  • ¼ cup sunflower kernels
  • ¼ cup buckwheat kernels
  • water, as needed
Instructions
  1. Add sunflower kernels (or sunflower butter), coconut oil and honey to the bowl of a food processor and process until a creamy butter forms - about 5 minutes.
  2. Add protein powder and coconut flour and process until well combined. Using fingertips, press mixture together to check if it sticks. Dough should stick together and not crumble. If needed, add water, one teaspoon at a time and process for a few seconds to combine, then test again.
  3. Add shredded coconut, additional sunflower kernels, and buckwheat kernels and process for 15-20 second until well combined, but before kernels are ground down. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and roll 2 tablespoon amounts of dough into large balls. Eat immediately or store in the fridge in a closed container for up to one week.
