These Raw Peanut Butter Bars were a favourite recipe from my third book – A Year of Beautiful Eating.
It’s packed full of over 100 delicious, nutritious and seasonal recipes and really is the perfect accompaniment to monotonous days in lockdown where you keep getting up every 10 minutes to check if new food has magically appeared in the fridge – can anyone relate?
Anyway, back to those chocolate peanut butter squares
Serves 8
Ready in 60 minutes
Good For Birthday, Food Gift, Galentine’s, Valentines
Crust:
75g ground almonds or hazelnuts
2tbsp cacao powder
2tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil
pinch of salt
peanut butter layer:
120g peanut butter
3tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
pinch of salt
chocolate topping:
30g cacao
3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
3 tbsp maple syrup
Line a small tray with baking paper. Place the crust ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.
Press into the lined tray and pop in the freezer while you make the toppings.
In another bowl combine the peanut butter fillings before pouring over the base and popping back in the freezer
combine the chocolate topping, whisking until smooth then pour over the peanut layer and place back in the freezer for 30 minutes
Using a sharp knife, cut the bars into squares and store in the fridge where they will last for 2 weeks – although they never do in my house!
My food philosophy is all about enlivening the hottest, happiest and healthiest you. It’s about keeping things simple and delicious so you don’t feel bored or deprived.
