Notes
Sticky Sweeteners: Dates work well as a sweetener and to bind the ingredients together. Adjust the quantity based on your desired sweetness and consistency.
Consistency: If the mixture feels too wet, add more oat flour gradually until it reaches a consistency that can be easily shaped into balls.
If the mixture is too dry and you find it difficult to roll into a ball, then add a little coconut oil or a little water to help get the right consistency.
Grease Hands: Slightly grease your hands with oil to prevent the fig mixture from sticking while rolling.
