Chocolate Chia Energy Bars

Kezia Hall
Simple, paleo, vegan energy bars to give you a natural boost!
Servings 6 bars

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.
