This bar is a kind of throw it all in and hope for the best. You will need a durable food processor to ensure even mixing. Suitable for paleo, vegan, vegetarian, & gluten free diets. Great source of fibre, fat, protein, and chocolate.
Recipe:
3 cups raw nuts of your choice (soak nuts overnight to sprout and improve digestibility)
8 medjool dates - pitted
Pulse until mixed evenly - nuts will be finely chopped and dates will have mixed in
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
2 tbsp chia, hemp, sesame, pumpkin & sunflower seeds (again soaking prior if desired)
1/4 cup raw cacao
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
2 tbsp. pumpkin protein powder
1 tsp. ground vanilla bean
1 tsp. cinnamon
Pulse then process until mixture is evenly mixed and nuts/seeds are chopped to the texture of your preference. Pour into a parchment lined 8X8 pan and press firmly with a spoon. Freeze or put in the fridge until set. I prefer the freezer as I enjoy a more firm bar, and the chewiness freezing creates. Once hardened, take the square out using the parchment and cut evenly into squares or rectangles or whatever shape you desire. And enjoy. So good with a cup of freshly made almond milk.
Feel free to experiment and add other dried fruits or ingredients to these bars, and let me know how they turn out!
