How to Prepare Raw Mint Chocolate Power Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Bars:

  1. Blend the lemon juice, dates, almond butter, salt, raisins, vanilla, coconut oil, and water into a thick caramel-like mixture. Throw all the dry ingredients (seeds, oats, and cacao nibs) into a large bowl. Scoop the caramel mixture into the dry ingredients and mix in until you have a sticky mass that holds its shape and doesn't crumble. Essentially you're using the caramel mixture to bind together the dry ingredients. Press into a lined standard bread loaf pan and let sit in the freezer for at least a couple hours or until solid. Once solid, slice into bars or squares (whatever you like).

  3. Leave in the refrigerator or freezer to harden the chocolate while you make the baobab drizzle.

To Make the Drizzle:

  1. Melt the coconut oil then stir in the rest of the ingredients, it ends up looking like caramel! Drizzle over your chocolate-coated bars and put in the refrigerator overnight.
