In order to make Mike’s Raw Blondie Balls recipe lower in nut fat content, you can replace the cashews and nuts with old fashioned rolled oats (gluten free if possible). In addition, you can replace any of the dried berries with any type of unsulfured, dried organic fruit (such as mango, pineapples, coconut and freeze dried strawberries).
 
You will note that Mike’s Raw Blondie Balls get their sweetness from agave syrup (optional) and Medjool dates. These are much healthier than refined sugar. If you find that the dessert balls are too sweet, you can take out the agave syrup (as opposed to the dates which act as the binding agent for the balls).
