Prune Coconut and Cinnamon Bars

Print Recipe

This weeks Recipe has been inspired by an old Donna Hay recipe. With just a few tweaks we made this delicious snack bar, full of protein and fibre, and a most enjoyable way to eat to prunes.

Ingredients:

1 cup of prunes, pitted

8 large fresh Medjool dates,  pitted

1/4 cup LSA

1/4 cup pea protein powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon powder

2 tablespoons of tahini (we used unhulled but either is fine)

1 1/2 cups of shredded coconut

2/3 cup roasted organic brazil nuts (chopped)

1/2 cup of IF sunflower seeds

1/4 cup sesame seeds (toasted)

1 tablespoon organic chia seeds

Method:

1. Place the prunes, medjool dates, LSA, pea protein powder, cinnamon, tahini and one cup of the shredded coconut into your food processor and whiz for around 2 minutes or until the mixture has come together smooth.
2. Transfer this mix to a large mixing bowl and add the roasted chopped brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, toasted sesame seeds and chia seed and mix well to combine.
3. Press the mixture into a lightly greased 20cm square baking tin lined with non-stick baking paper.
4. Top with the remaining coconut pressing down to secure.
5. Refrigerate for up to one hour and then remove and cut into slices ready to serve.
