Instructions

- Blitz to get a thick paste, either smooth or with a bit of a texture.
- With wet hands, shape balls the size a walnut, I got 11, but you might get more less depending on the size.

- Spray deliberately with cooking oil spray (or brush them with regular oil) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
