METHOD
Lentils should be rinsed and drained. In a medium-large saucepan, combine 1 cup water and the lentils. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. When the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium high and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. The water should be absorbed completely. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate chips, oats, sunflower seeds, hempseed, and coconut. Incorporate the cooled lentils. Mix in the almond butter and maple syrup. Combine thoroughly. Make 36 balls and place them in a glass container with a lid.
Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
