Energy Bars with Cacao & Maca

Ingredients

• 150 g Almonds
• 75 g Chia Seed
• 60 g hemp seeds
• 50 g pumpkin seeds
• 25 g Cocoa Powder
• 25 g Maca Powder
• 20 g Coconut Blossom Sugar
• 2 kg cinnamon
• ½ kg sea salt
• 400 g dates
• 100 g pure chocolate
• 50 g cacao nibs

Preparation method

1. Add the almonds to the food processor and blend until fine.
2. Add chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, cocoa powder, maca powder, cocoa nibs, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt, and mix briefly.
3. Add the dates and mix again until a sticky dough forms. Add 1 tablespoon of water if the dough is not sticky enough. Repeat until the dough sticks sufficiently.
4. Cover a large baking dish with plastic wrap, distribute the mixture, and press down firmly with the back of a spoon. Place in the refrigerator.
5. Melt the chocolate au-bain marie in the meantime and pour it over the energy bars. Finish off with extra cacao nibs. Place back in the fridge for 2 hours, until the chocolate has completely set.
6. Take out of the fridge and let it rest for 5 minutes so the chocolate can soften. Cut into pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tip: store for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator and up to 3 months in the freezer.
