Equipment
- Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups nuts/seeds eg. almonds, cashews, walnuts, sunflower seeds
- 1 cup shredded coconut

- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup choc hazelnut butter or other nut butter
- 1/8 cup coconut oil

- 1 tsp cinnamon optional
- 1/2 tsp ground vanilla optional, pure if possible
Instructions
- Blend nuts in a food processor or blender until finely chopped.
- Pour blended nuts into mixing bowl, add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Add melted coconut oil to dry ingredients and combine well. Add natural sweetener like stevia if you like it sweeter. If the mixture is really wet, add some extra chia seeds (or almond meal, psyllium husks etc) to thicken it up. If too dry, add some extra coconut oil. Mixture should be sticky.
- Line baking pan with baking paper. Tip mixture in, press down and smooth out with the back of a spoon.
