Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 12 small rounds

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup of dried berries or fruit of choice
  • 1/2 cup of raw nuts of choice
  • 1/2 cup of sprouted pumpkin seeds
  • coconut flakes for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Warm a pan over low heat and add the coconut oil.
  • Wait for the coconut oil to melt, then add the cacao powder and mix.
  • Add the honey and mix again.
  • Remove the pan from heat, add the nuts and the seeds and mix all ingredients well.
  • Next line a large muffin pan with muffin cups and fill each muffin cup 1/2 of the way full with mixture. If needed, use a tablespoon to spread the nut/berry mixture evenly into each cup.
  • Finally, chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until the mixture is completely hardened.
  • Sprinkle with coconut flakes, if desired, before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe yields 12 small or 6 large rounds depending on the size of the muffin pan and muffin cups you choose to use. 
  • You may use a baking pan instead of a muffin pan and then cut the hardened block into squares, but I prefer using the muffin pan to eliminate the additional step.
