- 30 g sunflower seeds
- 40 g almonds
- 1 tbsp flaxseeds
- 2 tbsp honey (or a little more)
- 50 g dark chocolate (without sugar)
- Pinch of salt flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the peanuts, oat flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, and flaxseeds.
- Sweeten with Honey: Drizzle the honey over the dry ingredients and stir to coat everything evenly. You may add a little extra honey depending on how sweet you want your dessert.
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it either in the microwave or using a double boiler. Stir the melted chocolate until smooth.
- Combine Everything: Pour the melted chocolate over the oat and nut mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure it is all well-coated.
- Add Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of salt flakes over the mixture, enhancing the flavors and balancing the sweetness.
- Chill and Set: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly over it. Refrigerate for about an hour or until the dessert firms up and becomes easier to break into pieces.
- Serve: Once set, break the mixture into bite-sized pieces and enjoy your homemade, energy-boosting snack.
Notes
- Storage: Store the Super-Energy Dessert in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Substitutes: You can substitute the nuts or seeds with other options depending on your preferences. For example, walnuts or cashews can replace almonds, and chia seeds can replace flaxseeds.
- Vegan Option: Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a vegan-friendly version.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the honey amount based on how sweet you like your desserts. If you prefer it less sweet, reduce the honey or even eliminate it altogether.
