Notes
Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Chia Seeds: These can be left out, however, the apricot balls will not hold together quite as well as the gelling tendency of chia seeds is why they are in the recipe.
- Rolled oats: I use traditional rolled oats, but quick cook oats will be fine.
- Nut butter: My favourite nut butter to use for this recipe are cashew or almond, but these can get a bit pricey, so I often use peanut butter as well, the flavour isn't quite as amazing with peanut butter but still fine.
- Maple syrup: This can be substituted for honey
- Apricots: If you substitute the dried apricots they won't be apricot balls anymore lol, but other dried fruits are delicious in this recipe especially cranberries.
Tips
