Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 1/4 cup (275 g) pitted packed soft, fresh dates
  • 1 1/4 (175 g) cup raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) drippy almond butter
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp espresso (or very strongly brewed coffee)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional, adds flavour)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (optional, adds flavour)

Instruction

  • Place almonds in a food processor or high-powered blender and mix until broken down into a grainy flour.
  • Add dates and continue to process (if your dates aren’t soft and fresh, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes then drain before using).
  • Add almond butter, cocoa, espresso, vanilla and sea salt and process until it forms a thick dough.
  • Press dough into a lined loaf pan for thick bars, a square baking pan for a thinner bar, or roll the dough into balls for brownie bites.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours to set.
  • Lift out of the pan and and cut into 8 bars.
  • Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freezer for up to 3 months.
