Raw candies with dried apricots are a true delight for natural sweet lovers. They combine the softness of banana, the delicate texture of oats, and the exotic aroma of coconut flakes. Dried apricots add natural sweetness with a slight tang, while a drop of honey enhances the harmony of flavors. This recipe was born from a desire for healthy eating when sweets became not only a source of pleasure but also a way to care for oneself. The candies require no heat treatment, preserving all the beneficial properties of the ingredients. They are perfect for a light snack or as a meal finale. Chilled, they acquire special density and their flavor becomes even richer.

• Oat flakes: 1 glass
• Coconut flakes: 50 g
• Bananas: 1 pc
• Honey: 1 tsp

Cooking steps

1. Cut the dried apricots into 2-3 pieces to make it easier to blend in the blender.

   Required ingredients:

   • Dried apricots: 80 g

2. Cut the banana into large rings.

   Required ingredients:

   • Bananas: 1 piece

3. Pour the oats into the blender bowl. Blend for 5-10 seconds so that some of the oats are crushed while others retain their shape.

   Required ingredients:

   • Oat flakes: 1 glass

4. Add banana, dried apricots, vanilla, and coconut flakes. Honey or other sweeteners are not needed for now; the sweetness of the banana and coconut may be enough.

   Required ingredients:

   • Bananas: 1 piece
   • Dried apricots: 80 g
   • Coconut flakes: 50 g
   • Honey: 1 teaspoon

5. Blend until the dried fruits and banana combine into a homogeneous mass. It doesn't matter if the flakes are ground, as the candies should retain texture.

6. The raw vegan 'dough' is ready. You can roll it into balls (about 12 pieces) and place them in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
