Pecan, date & coconut bar

Pecan, Goji Berry & Date Brownie

Ingredients:

70g Medjool soft dates
50g diced dried figs
120g desiccated coconut 
2 tbsp organic maple syrup
20g Nuzest protein powder *
25g raw cacao powder 
80g chopped & toasted pecans
10g goji berries (optional)

Method: 

Whizz up all the dates, figs and coconut until you reach a sticky consistently. Add in the remaining ingredients and whizz to a fine breadcrumb stage.

Spoon out into a parchment-lined 2lb loaf tin. Press down into the tin to form a smooth layer using your hand and/or spoon. 

Refrigerate for 1 hour then cut into 4 bars or 8 squares. 

Depending on the size of food processor you use it may be necessary to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times to ensure all ingredients are fully mixed in.

Keep refrigerated until ready to use. 

• Nuzest protein powders have a variety of flavours. I use the strawberry or the vanilla chocolate flavours for this.
