No-bake, chewy, nutty muesli balls

This was an absolute by-the-seat-of-my-pants experiment but the results are so good I wanted to share it.

I eyeballed all the ingredients so measurements are all approximates and you'll need a food processor (with mixing attachment if you have one) and a saucepan.

Ingredients (all approx)

1 1/2 cups Rolled Oats

1 cup Cashews (though any nuts could do)

1/4 cup Sesame seeds

2 tbsp Chia seeds

1/4 cup Almond meal

1/4 cup Coconut (plus extra to roll)

1/3 cup Butter

1/3 cup Honey

1/3 cup Brown sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp bicarbonate soda

1 tbsp boiling water

Blend the oats and nuts until they're chopped up into itty bitty pieces then switch out to the mix attachment (or chuck it in a large mixing bowl) and add the sesame, chia almond meal and coconut and mix 'er up.

Put the butter, honey and brown sugar into the saucepan on a low heat until everything is melted and any graininess is gone. Stir in the vanilla then add the bicarb and finally the water. Your mix will fizz and bubble (probably doubling in volume).

Tip the wet mix into your dry mix and mix well. Let it sit for a few minutes until it wont melt the flesh off your hands then roll into balls and cover in coconut (HINT: Toddlers love this bit and will gleefully smear it everywhere while "helping")

If your balls won't hold their shape just keep mixing in more almond meal until you get the consistency you want.

Put in the fridge to set for at least half an hour.

They should last up to a week in the fridge but I can pretty much guarantee you they won't last that long.
