Super Food Raw Cacao and Peanut Butter Bars

3

Free from gluten and refined sugar

Ingredients
(serves 3-4 people)

Base
– 1 cup almond meal
– 1/2 cup raw cacao
– 1 cup peanut butter (smooth, unsalted, unsweetened)
– 1 cup medjool or dry dates
– 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
– a pinch of sea salt
– 1/4 cup of water (optional)

Superfood topping (suggestion)
– 1/4 cup millet
– 1/4 cup goji berries
– 1/4 cup shreaded coconut
– any nuts, seeds or dried fruits of your choice

1. Put all base ingredients (except the water) into a food processor and blend the mixture into a dough with smooth texture. If the dough is too dry and crumbly, slowly add a little bit of water to make it stick together. Depending on how oily your peanut butter is and how dry your dates are, you may have to add a little more or less water. The dough should be neither too dry nor too moist in order to achieve a firm bar texture.

2.  Spread the dough out onto a small baking/brownie tray lined with baking paper. Make sure the dough is spread evenly, so it is at least 1.5-2 cm thickness.

3. Sprinkle with superfood toppings.

4. Before serving, let it sit for at least one hour in the freezer or two hours or in the fridge.

Enjoy!
