Equipment

  • 1 baking dish approx 26 x 18 x 4 cm
  • baking paper
  • food processor
  • spatula
  • bench scraper optional

Ingredients
  

Base

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats or quick oats
  • 3 medjool dates
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup flax seed meal
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • 12 brazil nuts
  • ⅓ cup almonds

Caramel

  • 20 medjool dates
  • ⅓ cup cashew butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes or ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Chocolate

  • 150 g dark chocolate 100% dark
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil I prefer unscented but normal is fine too

Instructions
 

  • Line your baking tray with baking paper.
  • Add all of the base ingredients to a food processor and process until a fine, slightly crumbly mixture forms. You want it to be quite sticky, so that when pressed, it stays together. Add an extra couple of tablespoons of maple syrup if needed to ensure mixture is nice and sticky. Transfer this to the lined baking tray and pack very firmly into the tray. Use a bench scraper (or the flat surface of something like the bottom of a cup, to evenly compress the mixture).
  • Add the caramel ingredients to your food processor and process until you have a smooth, thick caramel. Spread this over the base and again use a bench scraper or something similar to get it as flat and even as possible.
  • Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil and mix well (I zap it in the microwave in 15 second increments) and pour over the caramel. Place in the fridge to set for 30 - 60 minutes.
  • Slice up and enjoy!

Notes

  • Achieving the Perfect Base: Make sure the base mixture is sticky enough to hold together when pressed. If it’s too dry, add a small amount of maple syrup or water until it binds.
  • Cutting Clean Slices: Use a sharp knife warmed slightly under hot water to cut neat slices without cracking the chocolate layer.
