Equipment
Ingredients
Base ingredients:
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates (200g)
- 1½ cups mixed unsalted nuts (210g)
- ½ cup tahini (120g)
- 3 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- Pinch sea salt optional
Topping ingredients:
- 4 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 4 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- Handful of nuts and some goji berries optional
Instructions
- Add all the base ingredients to the food processor and blend until soft and smooth. This might take a few minutes. If it doesn’t come together add 1 tbsp of water and blend again. If your dates are harder, the water helps break them down.
- Once the mixture is fully combined, separate into 12 pieces. Press down into a lined mini brownie tin (or a muffin tin) and refrigerate whilst you make the topping.
- Mix the topping ingredients together until smooth. Add a spoonful on top of each brownie. Sprinkle over a handful of chopped nuts or some goji berries for colour. Refrigerate again for at least an hour until set.
Notes
- They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.
- The bars can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
- The nutritional information includes the chocolate topping but not the additional chopped nuts and goji berries.
