These super simple balls are a great snack and a great way to add more daily turmeric. They are super easy to carry along and store. The sesame balls use just 5 ingredients. Toasty Sesame seeds, maple syrup, tahini, turmeric + spices/flavors, coconut flour.

Make these with just sesame seeds or sesame and other seeds. Sesame seeds are an acquired flavor, so mix other seeds or nuts. Pulse the larger seeds/nuts to a coarse meal before using. Toast them to preference, then mix in the tahini maple mixture. You can also use popped grains (quinoa, amaranth, millet etc) instead of sesame seeds. You can sub the tahini with smooth nut butter. These balls also remind me of Til ke ladoo which are usually made of sesame seeds and jaggery syrup. Use these as a laddoo sub at the next Indian festival. Loads of options!

Add flavors of choice to these snack balls. I use freshly crushed cardamom and ground cinnamon. Freshly crushed cardamom seeds and amazing and add a vibrant flavor to these balls. Use unflavored protein powder instead of coconut flour for a protein filled ball. Make some and let me know how you like them!
