Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned oats 50g, rolled oats
- ¼ cup almond flour 22g ground almonds
- ½ cup dates 70g, weight without stones (see notes)
- ¼ cup raw unsalted cashews 35g
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoon smooth peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Line a dish, approx 4in x 6.5in (10cm x 17cm), with cling wrap/film, with some hanging over the sides.
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and mix until relatively smooth and well mixed.
- Tip the mixture into the lined dish and press down flat. Fold the sides of the cling wrap/film over the mixture and refrigerate for a couple hours to firm up.
- Use the cling wrap to help you remove the block from the dish then cut into squares. Keep refrigerated until needed - you can eat them either chilled or room temperature (although at room temperature them will be a little sticky and may crumble a bit).
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If possible, use medjool dates as they are much softer. If not available, then soak the dates in boiling water for a few minutes while you prepare other ingredients and roughly chop before adding into the food processor (drained of the water) with everything else.
