Notes
Dry Mixture: If the apricot mixture is dry and you find it hard to shape into balls, add a splash of coconut oil, pulse the food processor and then shape the mixture into balls.
Wet Mixture: If the mixture turns out too wet, add oat flour or desiccated coconut to get the right consistency.
Grease Hands: Rub a little bit of coconut oil into both palms to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
