We had a major craving in the JSHealth Office – for a healthy muesli bar with a hint of chocolate. So I headed into the JSHealth Kitchen and whipped up these wholesome and nutritious seed bars with a chocolate hit. Decadent and satisfying minus the sugar bloat!

Ingredients

Makes: 8

  • 10 medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp cacao nibs
  • 3 tbsp almond butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup, honey or rice malt syrup (optional)
  • 2 tbsp filtered water
  • 2-3 squares of dark chocolate (70-85%)
  • 2 tbsp cranberries, to decorate

Chocolate drizzle:

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate (70-85%), melted
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • sprinkle of sea salt

 

Method

  1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor, except cranberries, and pulse until well combined – the mixture should be firm but soft.
  2. Grease and line a 20cm square baking tray and press the mixture in evenly with the back of a spoon. Press cranberries into the top of the bars.
  3. Combine the ingredients for the chocolate drizzle and stir until smooth and combined. Drizzle over mixture.
  4. Cover and freeze for 30-40 mins or until firm.
  5. Remove from the freezer and cut into eight bars.

 

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
