Ingredients

  • 100 g gluten free oats
  • 100 g morello cherries in syrup or glace cherries
  • 100 g raisins
  • 100 g coconut flour
  • 50 g ground almonds
  • 50 g desiccated coconut
  • 50 g coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp carob flour
  • 2 tbsp cherry syrup/flavouring or a few drops of cherry flavouring (optional)

The topping

  • 100 g dark chocolate I use a dairy free chocolate
  • 2 tbsp cacao nibs optional

Instructions

  • Add all the dry ingredients into a bender first and blitz until smoother in texture.
  • One by one add the remaining ingredients and blitz after each addition.
  • The mixture is ready when it comes together in a clump when you squeeze it in your hand.
  • Tip mixture into a greased 8x8" square tin and press down firmly with a wet spatula.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave, careful not to over heat and burn.
  • Drizzle the chocolate over the mixture and smooth to the edges with the back of a metal spoon.
  • To decorate sprinkle some raw cacao nibs over the chocolate.
  • Pop in the fridge for at least 30mins to chill.
  • When chocolate has set, remove from fridge and cut into 16 equal squares
  • Keep stored in the fridge for up to two weeks...if they last that long.

Notes

As mentioned I used green raisins on this occasion but sultanas, raisins or even better currents would do to add a deeper flavour.
