Notes
Binding Agents:
Sticky Sweeteners: Maple syrup works well to bind the ingredients together. So do not replace it with refined sugar. Adjust the quantity based on your desired sweetness and consistency.
Nut Butter: Almond butter not only add flavour but also act as a binding agent due to its natural oils.
Adjusting Consistency:
Almond Flour Quantity: If the mixture feels too wet, add more almond flour gradually until it reaches a consistency that can be easily shaped into balls.
Liquid: If the mixture is too dry add a few tablespoons of coconut oil or water and stir to combine. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time, add more if required while combining the mixture.
Rolling Techniques:
Uniform Size: Use a measuring spoon or small scoop to ensure evenly sized balls.
Damp Hands: Slightly dampen your hands with water or oil to prevent sticking while rolling.
