Description

A delicious and healthy recipe for no-bake chocolate cacao bars, perfect for a snack or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 4 Medjool dates
  • 2 Tbsp goji berries
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (I used chocolate maca protein from Sprout Living)
  • 2 Tbsp collagen peptides (omit for vegan)
  • 13 Tbsp water*
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp sunflower seed butter
  • cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Line an 8″ x 4″ loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Combine all ingredients for the base in a food processor and blend until well combined. The dough should be sticky and hold together well.
  3. Firmly press the dough into your lined loaf pan.
  4. Melt the chocolate. Mix in the sunflower seed butter and then pour the mixture over the base. Top with cacao nibs.
  5. Chill the bars for 30 minutes in the fridge, then cut them to desired size.
