If you’re craving a decadent sweet treat but don’t want to put the oven on, then these no-bake slices are perfect. Not only are they super quick and easy to make, but they are also much healthier than other sweets. You will need a food processor or a high-powered blender. This recipe serves 10.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups dried pitted dates
- 2 cups oats
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons nut butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 ounces chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions:
- Add the oats to the food processor and blend for 3-5 minutes, until they have formed a fine flour.
- Add three-quarters of the dates and blitz for another few minutes until a sticky mixture is formed.
- Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Roughly chop the walnuts and remaining dates and stir them into the mixture.
- Add the ground almonds, nut butter, and salt and mix until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Using your hands, divide and mold the mixture into 10 bars. Place these on some baking paper on a tray.
- Break the chocolate into smaller pieces and add to a heat-proof bowl along with the coconut oil.
- Put a pan of water onto the stove and bring to the boil. Place the heat-proof bowl on top and stir the chocolate until it’s entirely melted.
- Dip each bar into the chocolate mixture and return to the tray, chocolate side up.
- Leave to cool and then place in the fridge for 2-3 hours until the chocolate is set.
