Ingredients:
6 dates, pitted
2 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup almond butter (or sunflower butter)
1/4 cup goji berries (or sultanas)
1/4 cup coconut flakes, shredded
1/4 cup ground flax (flax and linseed are the same thing, I get linseed and then grind it up in my Mum's Thermomix)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
a couple of pinches of sea salt (unless your sunflower or almond butter is already salted
1 cup almonds
handful of cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips
Preparation:
1. Place the pitted dates, and coconut oil in the base of your food processor. Add the almond butter. Whirl these together until combined.
2. Add the goji berries or sultanas, coconut flakes, ground flax (linseed), cinnamon and sea salt, and whirl in the food processor again, until the mixture is well incorporated. It's ok if it's a bit more chunky at this point.
3. Add the almonds and the cacao nibs or chocolate chips, and pulse your food processor until you have a chunky mass that looks like cookie dough.
4. Scoop the dough- like mixture into an 8x8 dish and press the mixture down with the back of a spoon.
5. Cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour to harden. Cut into bars (approximately 16 bars per batch). Store them in the fridge in an air tight container.
