Ingredients
Base ingredients:
- ½ cup hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds) (60g)
- ½ cup pistachios (60g)
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates, pitted (200g)
- 1 cup almond flour (ground almonds) (100g)
- 1 cup oats (80g)
- ½ cup natural almond butter (120g)
Topping ingredients:
- 1 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa) (about 150g)
- 2-3 tbsp hemp and chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Add all the base ingredients to a food processor and blend until thoroughly combined. Add a tbsp or 2 of water if needed if it won’t come together (if your dates are harder you’ll definitely need this).
- Press down into a cupcake tin or cases and put in the fridge whilst you melt the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water. Pour a spoonful on top of the bases and sprinkle over the some extra hemp and chopped pistachios. Refrigerate again.
- Once the chocolate has set, keep in a sealed tub in the fridge.
Notes
- These are officially no bake but if you prefer your oats a little toasted then just put in the oven for 10 minutes before making.
- They’ll last for about a week in a sealed tub in the fridge.
- They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
- If you prefer another nut or seed butter, then please substitute with that. Just keep the quantities the same.
- My dates are also very soft so again if yours are not then you can add some water as you blend.
