[Method]

Prep TIME: 10mins

Method:

First, grate the zucchini and place it in a sieve to drain all of the liquid from the zucchini, stand for at least 10mins. After 10mins squeeze the zucchini with your hand to remove any excess liquid.

Then put the almonds together with the dates into a food processor or blender and process until a sticky mixture forms. Then add the lemon zest and juice. Tip mixture into a bowl and mix through zucchini, rolled oats and coconut flakes. Knead the mixture with your fingers to ensure it all sticks together. If it appears a bit crumbly add in 1 tbsp coconut oil – this could indicate that there is still too much liquid in the zucchini when added in. Form the mixture into balls and then roll in desiccated coconut. Chill in the fridge for 30mins then enjoy!
