Serving size: Makes 10

Ingredients:

2 cups of raw cashews

1/2 cup desiccated coconut

1/2 cup rolled oats

3 tablespoons chia seeds

1/2 cup chopped macadamias

1/2 cup pea protein powder

2 tablespoons organic maca powder

1/2 cup caramelised buckinis or plain raw buckwheat

1 cups of dates, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes

3 tablespoons coconut oil

2 tablespoons rice malt syrup

150g white loving earth chocolate, melted

Method:

1. In a blender or high speed food processor blend the cashews, coconut and oats to a fine meal.
2. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the chia seeds, chopped macadamia nuts, pea protein, maca powder and buckinis/buckwheat and mix until well combined.
3. Drain the water from the dates and add them to the blender with the coconut oil and rice malt syrup. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour this liquid mixture into the mixing bowl and mix until well combined (you may need to mix for around 5 minutes using your hands so the mixture begins to stick together).
5. Press the mixture into a tin lined with baking paper and set in the freezer for a few hours until firm.
6. When the bars are almost set, melt the loving earth white chocolate with your preferred heating method.
7. Once set, cut into bars of desired size and shape and drizzle with the melted chocolate. Keep refrigerated until eaten. Enjoy.
