Chocolate Nut Slice
A delicious chocolate treat that is also packed with fibre, healthy fats and micronutrients.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup mixed nuts and seeds
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or as much as desired)
Instructions
- Prep a baking tin with baking paper.
- Chop the pitted dates and place them into a bowl. Cover with boiling water for 5-10 minutes and then drain.
- Chop the mixed nuts and seeds via a food processor or blender (I use my Ninja nutri-blender).
- Combine the dates and nuts into a mixing bowl and mix well.
- Pour most of the coconut oil in into the bowl, leaving approx. 1 tbsp for later. Mix well.
- Place mixture into the prepared tin and press it down evenly with a spoon.
- Melt chocolate and stir in remaining coconut oil. Pour it over the top of the mixture and spread evenly.
- Allow it to set in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Once it’s set, cut into squares.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Soaking the dates is to help soften them, but if you’re using fresh soft dates you can skip this part.
