Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1/2 cup raw shelled sunflower seeds
  • 10 dried figs (stems removed)
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom (1/2 teaspoon if you want a more pronounced cardamom flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds

Instruction

  • In a food processor, pulse 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds until the consistency is almost like flour. A few little chunks are fine. Do not over process as it will become sticky. Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
  • In the same food processor, place 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, figs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cardamom. Processes until it forms a sticky dough.
  • Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. I used a small cookie scoop for this to ensure they were all the same size. Repeat with the remaining dough until gone.
  • Roll each ball (or as many as you want) into the processed sunflower seed "flour."
  • They are ready to enjoy immediately.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
