I enjoy these with a cup of organic herbal. It
makes for a satisfying way to start the morning or as an afternoon snack.
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup hemp seeds
1/2 cup dried coconut, shredded and unsweetened
1/2 cup dried mulberries or
golden raisins
1/3 cup raw protein powder
1/4 cup raw cacao nibs
1/2 cup raw coconut spread or coconut butter (see
appendix B)
1/2 cup raw agave nectar (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon coconut extract
Place
the oats, hemp seeds, dried coconut, mulberries, protein powder, and nibs in a
mixing bowl. Briefly stir the ingredients together, and set aside. Next, using
a blender (or mini food processor , fitted with the "S" blade),
process the coconut butter, agave, coconut extract and nutmeg together until
smooth. Add this mixture to the bowl with rolled oats.
Mix thoroughly
by hand, or as I prefer, use a mixer with the paddle attachment.
Transfer
the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mold it into
A square
or rectangle (it doesn't have to fit the whole pan). Refrigerate for an hour.
Cut into
bars and swap them individually with parchment paper and then with plastic
wrap. Store in the refrigerator or freezer
