Ingredients for about 15 balls
- 10 dates
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 100 grams of sweet potato puree
- 80 grams of oat flakes
Preparation
First of all, we have to prepare the sweet potato puree. To do it you can cook a sweet potato in a convection oven at 200 °C for 45 minutes. You can use the rest of the sweet potato puree in other recipes, such as this beverage.
In the meantime, let soak the dates for at least an hour.
Mix the dates in a food processor and, when they will have a creamy consistency, add sweet potato puree, oat flakes, and cinnamon.
Shape the mix into balls and let them stay in the fridge for an hour.
Sweet potato energy balls can be kept in the fridge for three days.
