Home-made energy bars. Ingredients:
1 cup almonds, roughly chopped |
1/3 cup almonds, finely chopped |
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds |
1/4 cup cacao, nibs |
3 tablespoons chia seeds |
1/4 cup toasted coconut |
2 tablespoons honey |
3 tablespoons almond butter |
2 tablespoons cocoa powder |
1/2 cup water |
1/4 cup currants |
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, finely chop the remaining 1/3 cup almonds and pour onto a plate. Set aside for later.
2. In a food processor, roughly chop 1 cup almonds. Pour into a medium size bowl.
3. Add almonds, sunflower seeds, cacao nibs, chia seeds, and toasted coconut. Mix with a fork until well combined.
4. In a food processor or blender, puree the currants with water.
5. In a small sauce pan over a low heat, combine the currant/water mixture with the almond butter, honey, and cocoa powder. Mix with a fork until well incorporated.
6. Pour the liquid mixture into the large bowl and mix with a rubber spatula – allowing the chia seeds to soak up some of the liquid. Set aside for 5 minutes. Once the mixture cools, fold in the 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips.
7. Using a large spoon, scoop the mixture and roll into a ball. The size should be slightly smaller than a golf ball. Roll the ball in the finely chopped almonds. Repeat to make roughly 20-24 mini bites. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and eat throughout the week.
