Prep: 45 mins | Cook: 0 mins | Total: 45 mins | Quantity: 12 - 15 bars
Ingredients
Base layer
1 + 1/2 cups cashew nuts
8 organic Medjool dates – stone removed
1/4 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup ground almonds
Caramel layer
8 organic Medjool dates – stone removed
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 tblsp almond milk
1/2 cup blanched whole jumbo peanuts
Topping layer
1/4 cup Revolution Foods Coconut Oil
1 tblsp maple syrup
1/4 cup Revolution Foods Raw Cacao Powder
2 tsp spirulina powder
Instructions
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit across across the bottom and up the long sides of a 9 x 3 inch loaf tin. This just makes lifting the finished bar easier to lift out of the tin
For the base layer, put the cashews, 8 stoned dates, flax seeds and ground almonds into a food processor and blitz until very well chopped and blended together
Tip this into your tin and smooth flat with a spatula or the back of a spoon
For the caramel layer, put the next 8 stoned dates, peanut butter and almond milk into the food processor (no need to wash up in between layers!) and blitz until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary
Pour this on top of your base making sure the edges reach the corners. Then evenly sprinkle over the peanuts, lightly pushing into the caramel
For the topping, gently melt the coconut oil with the maple syrup then whisk in the cacao and spirulina powders. Pour this over the peanuts then put the tin in the fridge for at least an hour to set
Loosen the two short ends from the tin with a knife then use the parchment to lift the whole thing out of the tin. Cut into bars with a sharp knife
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week
Notes
For clean edges when cutting into bars use a knife dipped in hot water, re-dipping and cleaning the knife between each cut
