Makes 1 loaf

Ingredients:
1 cup sunflower seeds
½ cup flax seeds
½ cup hazelnuts or almonds
1 ½ cups rolled oats
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
4 Tbsp. psyllium seed husks (3 Tbsp. if using psyllium husk powder)

3 Tbsp. coconut oil melted
1 ½ cups water

Method:
In a loaf pan, combine all dry ingredients. Whisk maple syrup, oil and water together in a separate bowl. Add mixture to the dry ingredients and combine until everything is completely soaked and dough becomes very thick, adding 1-2 teaspoons water if dough is too thick to stir. Smooth top and let sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 175°C.

Bake bread for 20 minutes, then remove bread from loaf pan, place it upside down, directly on a rack, and bake for another 30-40 minutes (it should sound hollow when tapped). Let cool completely before slicing.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

• 4 cups desiccated coconut
• ½ cup softened or melted coconut oil
• 10 drops of clear stevia liquid
• Chopped almonds (option)

Coating:

1 ½ cup of dark chocolate pieces (unsweetened)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Ingredients:

In a food processor, put the filling ingredients and blend 1-2 minutes until smooth. Taste for sweetness and adjust stevia drops to your taste. The coconut oil must be soft or melted so the mixture blends.

Line an 8×8 or similar sized pan with wax paper or parchment. Pour the mixture in and spread around evenly. Spread almonds in coconut mixture. Press them in. Place pan in the fridge or freezer to speed the solidifying process.

Meanwhile, melt your chocolate and coconut oil. Pour the chocolate and coconut oil mixture on the top of the coconut and spread evenly. Then put the tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Once done, cut into pieces and EAT!

Dry Ingredients

2 cups of Quick Oats

1 cup Buckwheat Grouts

10 scoops of Whey Protein Powder

1 cup sunflower seeds

¾ cup shredded coconut

½ cup cashew nut pieces

½ cup flaxseeds

½ cup raisins

1/3 cup coconut sugar

Water

Method:

Combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Melt the coconut oil and peanut butter together in a pot and combine with the dry ingredients. Make sure its mixed in properly. Then add water a little bit at a time and test the consistency by squeezing the mixture to see if it binds. As soon as it feels like it will bind, press the mixture firmly and evenly into a tray and refrigerate for 1 hour. Once its set, cut into 16 pieces. Individually wrap if you choose to and keep refrigerated. There is no shelf life because you will eat them all before they have any chance of going off.

HINT: The size of the tray is up to you. The thicker the bars, the better they stay together.
