How to make Cinnamon and Chia Seed Energy Balls (Vegan & GF)

2. Whizz all other ingredients, in a food processor for a couple of seconds, until they've almost formed a flour-like consistency.

3.  Drain and add dates to the food processor - making sure no water from the saucepan goes in.

4. Blend until a sticky paste is formed.

5. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture, and roll into balls with your hands.
