Author's Notes

Makes 18-22 balls.

Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 3 months.

If the batter seems too wet or sticky add a touch more almond flour. If the batter seems too dry to roll into balls, add another Tbsp or two of water. Alternatively, add a Tbsp or two more water until the texture is perfect for rolling into balls.
