FAQs
Can I use dried mango instead of fresh mango?
Fresh mango works best to provide moisture and a fresh flavor. Using dried mango would make the mixture too dry, but you could try soaking dried mango in warm water before blending to soften it.
Are these bliss balls vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, this recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free as long as you use certified gluten-free oats and check that your almond flour doesn’t contain any additives.
