This looks so good! Do you use dried figs for this? And is normal buckwheat okay if not activated? Should I soak first? Thank you !
Kate - Boob to Food says:
Yes dried figs, sorry I've amended the recipe now to reflect that. In this recipe it is best to be activated as the recipe is raw. You can eat uncooked buckwheat, but it won't be as nice in terms of the texture. When using activated it is already soaked and the dehydrated. With regular buckwheat you won't be able to soak it (unless you were going to dehydrate again) as it will introduce too much moisture into the slice
Renee Baker says:
This all makes sense, thank you!

Hi! Is the tablespoon of cacao the same as cacao liquor or cacao paste? Not clear because I’ve never used this in my cooking but really want to try this recipe. Thank you!
Kate - Boob to Food says:
Hi lovely, no cacao is a powder like cocoa - cacao paste or liquor still have the cacao solids in it as well
Anna Hill says:
Everyone loved this recipe thank you. I did find we had to eat it straight out of the fridge because it was quick to melt. I wasn’t confident enough to put it in my little one’s lunchbox.
