Ingredients
  • 100g oats
  • 3 tbs cacao
  • 30g ground hazelnut
  • 30g linseed
  • ¼ tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbs cacao nibs
  • 1 dash of salt
  • 1 dl warm water*
  • 120g dates, pitted
  • 4 tbs coconut oil, melted
  • Toppings:
  • 50g dark chocolate (99%)
  • chopped hazelnuts
  • cacao nibs
  • hempseed
Instructions
  1. Process dates, coconut oil, vanilla, water and in a food processor. Add all of the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and pour in the date mixture. Mix until well combined.
  2. Spread the dough into a baking tin and flatten into a 2cm thick square. The dough won’t be runny so it won’t matter if your baking tin isn’t square shaped. Let rest for 30 min before baking and preheat oven to 180°C.
  3. Bake the bar for 25 minutes and then let it cool completely. Cut into 8 equally sized bars.
  4. Temper the chocolate. It is very important to temper the chocolate and not just melt it as it won’t set otherwise. To temper the chocolate add ⅔ into a bowl and melt it over a double broiler. Remove the boil from the heat and let it cool slightly. Meanwhile finely chop up the remaining chocolate and then stir it into the melted part. I added a few links to this post to find a more elaborate explanation on how to temper chocolate and why it is important to do so.
  5. Spread the chocolate on to one half of each bar and top with chopped hazelnuts, cacao nibs and hempseed or other toppings of your choice.
  6. *Make sure to use warm water as cold water would cause the coconut oil to set.
