INGREDIENTS
For the bars:
1 cup and a half of pecans
1 cup of cashews
sprinkle of cinnamon
8 pitted dates
1 tbsp MIX N MATCHA
1 tbsp chia
1 tbsp LSA
1 tbsp protein powder
3 tbsp melted coconut oil
3 tbsp water
optional: if you want a sweeter taste, you can add 1 tbsp maple syrup
For the topping:
a handful of shredded coconut
a handful of goji berries
about ¼ cup toasted sunflower kernels (I toasted these using a pan for about one minute until they became more golden in colour)
METHOD
1. Add all ingredients for the bars into a food processor and blend for about 5 minutes until the texture is no longer crumbly and is able to stick together. If it is still too crumbly, add a tablespoon of water (and keep on adding more water until it’s no longer crumbly).
2. Place the mixture on a baking try and spread evenly. Use the back of the spoon to create a smooth surface.
3. Sprinkle the toppings on top of the bar mixture and press the toppings firmly on the top of the mixture.
