Description
These healthy snack bars are the perfect afternoon sweet, or can be prepared without the chocolate for a satisfyingly healthy breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 1-½ cup Raw Cashews
- 1 cup Pitted Dates, Chopped
- ½ cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- ½ cups Coconut Flour
- ½ cups Almond Butter
- ½ cups Maple Syrup (grade B)
- 2 Tablespoons Ground Flax Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (70% Or Higher Cacao)
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
Preparation
In a food processor, grind the raw cashews to a powder. Add the chopped dates, shredded coconut, coconut flour, almond butter, maple syrup, flax seeds, and vanilla. Pulse until a dough is formed, being careful not to over-mix (the dates should be in small pieces, not ground into a flour).
Line a Pyrex with parchment paper and form the dough into a rectangular bar 1 inch thick. Refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
To prepare the sauce, combine the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a glass or stainless steel bowl and set over a pot of simmering water. Once the chocolate has melted, remove from heat. The hot chocolate can be poured directly over the cool bars. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to set.
