Chocolate Chia Energy Bars
Simple, paleo, vegan energy bars to give you a natural boost!
Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 150 g almonds
- 4 tbsp organic cocoa
- 4 tbsp 'scoops' organic coconut oil
- 5 medjool dates
- 1/10 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- TOPPING
- 2-3 tbsp desiccated coconut if desired - or cacao nibs dried cranberries would also taste good here too!
Instructions
- Blend the almonds, coconut oil, dates and salt for about 10 minutes until it is runny and smooth - this takes time so be patient :)
- Add the cocoa powder and chia seeds and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a lined glass dish and smooth out top. I made then about 1-2cm in thickness .
- Place in fridge to set.
- Keep in fridge for softer texture or freezer for a harder crisper finish.
Notes
You could use organic butter instead of coconut oil - just take about 4 tbsp scoops of butter instead.
These are quite rich so you may want to cut then into smaller squares to serve 12-16 instead.
I have not tried these with cacao but I imagine it would work well.
