Raw Chocolate Snack Squares

Deliciously simple to make, these Raw Chocolate Snack Squares are a no-bake alternative to the chocolate brownie. Great for having on stand-by during those hotter months when you can't stand to be in the hot kitchen but crave a gluten free treat to boost those energy levels.

Ingredients

  • 115 g dried figs
  • 115 g dried prunes
  • 150 g milled linseed, I used the Harvest Morn Linseed with berries mix available at Aldi
  • 100 g gluten free oats, if you can't have oats I'd sub with 50g gluten free plain flour
  • 60 g protein powder, I used Nutree Pumpkin Seed Protein
  • 50 g ground almonds
  • 50 g desiccated coconut
  • 50 g date nectar, or honey if you'd prefer
  • 50 g coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp water

To decorate

  • 150 g 70% dairy free dark chocolate
  • pinch of salt
  • desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Add all the main ingredients to a blender and blend - yes, it's that simple!
  • Tip into an 8x8" square brownie tin, preferably with a loose bottom and lined with greaseproof paper.
  • Smooth paste down with the back of a spoon, I have a bowl of water handy to dip the spoon in at intervals to stop the mixture sticking to the spoon.
  • Melt the chocolate and salt in the microwave on shorts blasts until smooth.
  • Pour over the flattened paste and tease to the edges.
  • Sprinkle with a little coconut for effect.
  • Pop in the fridge for 30 mins then remove and cut into 9 - or it watching the calories cut into 16 squares

Notes

Keep the squares in the fridge in an airtight container and have one next time you need a fix!
