Instructions

  • Put 240 g Medjool dates into a bowl and cover with boiled water. Leave to soak for 10 minutes.
  • Put 40 g Sunflower seeds, 50 g Pumpkin seeds, 20 g Chia seeds, 15 g Flaxseeds, 80 g Oats, 40 g Desiccated coconut, 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder and 1 pinch Sea salt into a food processor. Process until everything is combined well.
  • Drain the dates and add them to the food processor along with 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract. Process again until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a lined baking tin and press down. Make sure you press down really firmly as everything needs to be well packed in, so that it all sticks together.
  • Gently melt 100 g Dark chocolate and 1 tablespoon Coconut oil together until smooth and silky.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the seed mixture and spread out into an even layer.
  • Refrigerate for one hour. When the chocolate has hardened, cut into bars.

Notes

  • We cut these into bars, but you could cut them into squares to make them more bite sized pieces.
  • These store really well. You can slice them up and then put them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 10 days.
  • These chocolate topped seed bars also freeze really well. Slice them and individually wrap them and put them in a freezer bag. They will keep for up to 3 months. I get them out of the freezer in the morning to put in the kid's lunch boxes and they are defrosted by lunchtime.
