Good Afternoon friends! I hope this finds you all well and that you have had a lovely week.
We are all well here … still cold … still raining … I never thought I would say it but I can not wait for Summer … even Spring will do me!
I had a friend calling in a few weeks back for a cuppa and I wanted to so something small to go with it. I was going to do ‘Bliss Balls’ but sadly she is allergic to dates! So this is why I came up with this recipe … if you wanted to you could throw a few dates in for extra sweetness … but we enjoyed it just like this! I hope that you do too!
Coco-Nutty Bites
1 ½ cups desiccated coconut (125g)
½ cup brazil nuts (80g)
½ cup cashews (70g)
3 tblspns maple syrup (55g)
1 heaped tblspn cacao (5g)
½ tspn cinnamon
pinch salt
Place all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz on high until thoroughly combined (approx. 1-2 minutes depending on your machine) Scrape down the sides occasionally.
TMX: Speed 9 / 20 seconds. Scrape down sides. Speed 7 / 20 seconds. Scrape down sides. Speed 7 / 10 seconds.
Line a meatloaf tray or similar rectangle shaped container with baking paper (I use a tupperware type container approx. 20cm x 13cm).
Push all the ingredients evenly and firmly into the tray / container using your fingers.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into bite size squares. Store the squares in a container in the fridge for up to a week.
Options: replace cacao with drinking chocolate or protein powder of choice. Add extras like Maca, chia seeds or a little additive free dried fruit like Acai Berries. Get creative with your own favourite flavours!
Wishing you all a lovely weekend …. full of love, laughter, family, friends and great food!
Take Care of You,
Collette x
