This is a little gem inspired by a recipe in The Medicinal Chef book (fabulous fridge cakes). It takes minutes to prepare, so it’s a good one to prepare at night or first thing and to have with your morning coffee or afternoon tea …
Add to TM bowl and give 4 quick turbo blasts, scrape down the sides of the bowl then turbo once for 1 second and set aside:
- 30g linseeds
- 30g pumpkin seeds
- 20g sunflower seeds
- 20g sesame seeds
- 60g goji berries
- 50g dates/figs
- 20g cacao/cocoa powder
- 1 tbs (10g) carob powder (optional)
- 1-2 tbs (10g) desiccated coconut
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
- Pinch sea salt
Add to bowl and melt 3 mins / 37 degs / speed 2, or until liquefied:
- 60g coconut oil
Add to bowl and blend 5 seconds / speed 7 / scrape and repeat, so that you have a firm paste:
- chocolate seed mixture
Press into a lined tin 10 x 10 cms and smooth out.
Add to bowl and chop with one (or two) short turbo blast(s):
- 20g walnuts (for nut-free, substitute for sunflower seeds)
- 20g craisins/dried cranberries
Sprinkle the fruit/nut mix over the top of the chocolate mixture, score into bite sized squares and freeze for 1/2 hour or refrigerate for 3 hours and then keep in the fridge. Nom, nom, nom.
This looks amazing! Great idea.
Just having a nosey after seeing a photo of this – I love the sound of it, and all those seedy goodies full of nutrients packed into something naughty! And I have all the ingredients bar vanilla powder, so this is getting MADE! My kids are going to love it too (if there’s any left!) 😀
Just add whatever vanilla you have, Andrea! 🙂
These sound really healthy but I’m allowed an indulgent coffee with them, right?
It would be rude not to, Maria … 😉
I love the mix of seeds and nuts in this recipe. So good for you! Many thanks, Lesley!
Yes, it’s my seedy little treat of the moment, Jane!
