This raw slice is deliciously crunchy, fudgy and definitely has the toddler tick of approval. With the goodness of fibre, healthy fats and antioxidants to boot.
They are super quick to make and are nut, dairy and gluten-free.
- 12 dried figs (roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cacao
- 1 cup activated buckwheat
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut (plus a little for garnish)
- 1 pinch salt
- sesame seeds for garnish
In a small bowl, soak the chopped figs in warm water to soften them for about 10 minutes.
Combine tahini, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla and cacao in a small saucepan on low heat. Continue to stir until all of the ingredients have formed a smooth runny liquid.
Blend or mash the figs with a fork until they form a paste and add them to a bowl with the buckwheat, coconut and a pinch of salt. Add the cacao liquid and stir well to combine.
Line a loaf tin with baking paper and press the mixture firmly into the tin. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and coconut
Set in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Cut into small bars. Enjoy
Note: This slice can also be frozen. It will last for a week in the fridge.
