Oh. My. Goodness. I absolutely LOVE these. They're so delicious and savoury with the perfect hum of heat. I brought them to have with my lunch at work and ended up eating them at my desk well beforehand

Oh these are great! Super savoury & slightly umami & I really like the texture. I can see myself returning to these frequently!

Surprisingly tasty! The soft texture of the beans matches wonderfully with the crispy and soft taste of the cashewnuts. One hurdle though: although I did my best to get water out of cannelloni beans beforehand, the mixture was still moisty and I coudn't roll it in to balls. Quick solution: I let the mixture rest in the fridge overnight and it dries up from itself.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the energy balls, Rosângela! Great thinking on letting the mixture rest in the fridge ☺️

These look good also fried as patties. Maybe I will try that. Thanks for the recipe!

I made these just as the recipe came out. They're tasty and hold up quite well. I must admit that I'm not the biggest fan as a snack by itself (I also wouldn't eat a piece of cheese as a snack, so that's on me), but I think they're great on crackers or bread.

This is exactly what I have been waiting for! Don't get me wrong, I love a sweet treat. But I've always felt that the world needed more healthy savoury snack ideas! Thank you!! Can't wait to make them!
