This mix was so delicious, that I’m going to un-ashamedly admit that once I had used all of the mix up I licked the pot clean, there wasn’t a speck of the mixture left on it!
You really don’t need much sweetener either as the orange zest and almond butter give so much flavour, which makes these beauties fantastically tasty without containing loads of sugar, woohoo!
I got a new blender recently which is an absolute beast, I’m loving it and used it to make my own organic almond butter which I used in this recipe. I can’t wait to experiment with other nut butter combos/flavours and will share any good ones on here once created. 😁

The base on these mini pies is delicious! It’s a mix of dried fruit, nuts, seeds and pumpkin spice, very flavourful without being too rich.
The pumpkin I used for this turned out to have paler flesh than others so mine isn’t overly orange meaning they didn’t look too pretty but they taste pretty fricking good! Plus it’s a great way to use up extra pumpkin flesh once you’re done with your carving.
You can use bun cases to make separate small pies or just smoosh it all together in one big tin and then cut into slices

I used these loads during my training for the 5K zombie run. A great source of protein, fibre and a mix of good fats, especially if you use hemp protein as it has a good balance between omega 3 and 6 fats. Plus some tasty peanut butter and chocolatey goodness just for good measure!
Plus they’re sweetened with fresh banana rather than dates which I feel makes a nice change.

Less sugar than a recipe with dates as the apricots and figs naturally contain lower levels. The great combo of the chocolate cacao*, roasted hazelnuts and vanilla powder really finishes this recipe off perfectly, I mean who doesn’t like a chocolate & hazelnut pairing!?
*I like to use raw cacao powder in recipes like this as it is not over heated therefore you are getting the max amount of beneficial compounds and antioxidants.

Best recipe I’ve made so far! You’ll ❤ these notella nibbles. They’re soooo creamy & melt in your mouth good!
I call these “no”tella nibbles as there isn’t any processed nutella in them but they taste so amazing that you’d think there was!
These homemade treats are also great because you can enjoy them knowing exactly what’s in them, no hidden nasties!
I made this recipe 2 ways, one without crunchy cacao nibs/nuts and one with them so you can choose whichever one you’d prefer. Personally, I loved the crunch of the cacao nibs.

A taste of Mexico with the chilli, lime and yes even chocolatey flavour from the cacao which they actually add to chilli stews in Mexico!
One difference from most energy balls is that I used dried apricots and gojis in this recipe rather than dates & I think I’ve discovered my new fav snack as the apricots are delicious, plus they’re lower in sugar than dates (as are the gojis).
Sooooo many good ingredients are included in these balls and they taste awesome which is why they’re going to be a regular in my kitchen, plus no one else in my family likes spicy food so there’s no risk of them being eaten with the “cat” getting the blame!
Great for when you have the cold as the chilli in these will certainly clear your sinuses and the vitamin C content will keep your immune system in top shape.
