Equipment
- medium bowl
- spoon
- tablespoon
- teaspoon
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp gelatinized maca powder
- 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 4 ⅓ tbsp raw honey (plus an additional 1 ½ teaspoons if needed)
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract (you can make homemade vanilla extract)
- ground ginger (to roll the pastilles in)
Instructions
- Place maca root and cinnamon in a bowl and mix together. Add in 4 tablespoons plus 1 ½ teaspoons honey and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract and mix with a spoon. The mixture will seem very powdery at first, but don’t worry! Just keep mixing until the honey has been evenly distributed throughout the powder. Then – and yes, this is a bit messy – use your clean hands to knead the powder and honey together to form a thick paste. If needed, add the additional 1½ teaspoons honey to incorporate all of the powder. Break the mixture into 12 balls and then roll in ginger powder before serving. Store in the fridge.
