Ingredients
Base ingredients:
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (30g)
- ½ cup pistachios (65g)
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates pitted (200g)
- 1 cup oats (80g)
- ½ cup almond butter (120g)
Topping ingredients:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (150g)
- 2-3 tbsp pumpkin seeds 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).
- Separate into 12 pieces and press down into a mini brownie tin or cupcake cases. Refrigerate whilst you melt the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl, over a pan of hot water. Pour a spoonful on top of each base and sprinkle over the some extra pumpkin seeds and chopped pistachios. Refrigerate again until the chocolate has set.
Notes
- Keep in a sealed tub in the fridge. They’ll last for 8-10 days. They also freeze well.
- Peanut or cashew butter can be used instead of almond.
- These bars are officially no bake. If you prefer your oats a little toasted, just put in the oven for 10 minutes before making.
