Makes 24 power balls

  • 20 medjool dates

  • 50g macadamia nuts

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 25g maple syrup

Ingredients

  1. Add wet ingredients into a large mixing bowl and combine. Add dry ingredients, stir well and allow to sit for a few minutes.

  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. When pan is hot, add a small amount of butter or oil until frothy/bubbling.

  3. Pour batter into the pan in rounds approx 8cm wide or using a 1/4 cup measure. Ensure pancakes are not too close together as they will spread in the pan. Cook pancakes for approx 1-2 minutes until underside is golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip pancake and cook for a further minute until cooked through.

  4. Transfer to a plate or tray in the oven and continue to cook until all the batter has been used.

  5. Top with maple syrup, Greek yoghurt and berries to serve.
