Ingredients
 

  • 90 g Oats
  • 5 Medjool dates pitted
  • 2 tbsps Maple syrup
  • 2 tbsps Smooth peanut butter
  • Handful of pecans
  • pinch Salt
  • 70 g Dark chocolate I used a raspberry flavoured one on this occasion

Toppings

  • Crushed nuts of choice I used a mixture of peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds
  • Goji berries

Instructions
 

  • Throw the oats, dates, maple syrup, pecans, peanut butter and salt into a food processor and blitz for 1 minute until it reaches a dough like texture.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in a microwavable bowl in the microwave for 60 seconds until melted (stir after 30 seconds and place back in for the final 30 seconds) Set aside and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • In the meantime, roll the dough mixture into balls/3 cookie like shapes.
  • Once the chocolate has cooled slightly, coat the balls/cookie shapes in the chocolate mixture - place on a plate covered in parchment paper.
  • Top with crushed nuts and goji berries.
  • Place in the fridge until set.
