No-Bake Blueberry Chocolate Flapjacks

blueberry chocolate flapjacks

These are absolutely as good as they look!  I think they’re my best invention yet!

Want some?  This is what you’ll need:

 

200g of fresh dates (pits removed and soaked for 2 to 3 hours)
200g of organic fresh dates (pits removed and soaked for 2 to 3 hours)
125g of organic fresh blueberries
125g of organic fresh blueberries
organic raw cacao nibs
organic raw cacao nibs (optional)
organic jumbo oats
organic jumbo oats
dark chocolate
vegan organic fair trade chocolate – raw if you’ve got it

1.  Drain and rinse your soaked dates and chop them in your food processor, or by hand, until they’re well mushed up and combined.  Transfer them into a large mixing bowl.

2.  Add your fresh blueberries and mix well.

3.  Add as many cacao nibs as you want and mix well.

4.  Put the whole lot back into the food processor and chop/mix it into a smooth, wet, really quite runny, mixture.

5.  Return it to the mixing bowl and add oats.  Keep adding oats and mixing until you have a stiff flapjack mixture.  Then put the lot into a flat tin, lined with non-toxic parchment paper, and press it with the back of a spoon so that it fills the tin and is uniformly flat and smooth.

6.  Put your flapjacks in the fridge while you melt your chocolate.  Put some very hot water into a large bowl; break your chocolate into small pieces and put them in a small bowl; put the small bowl to float in the hot water; don’t get water in the chocolate.  Your chocolate will melt quite quickly – keep an eye on it 🙂

7.  Then remove your tin of flapjack mixture from the fridge and cover in melted chocolate.  Chill and cut into squares when set.

8.  Enjoy your gorgeous flapjacks 🙂

    Looks so healthy, too! (OK, I know I’m just setting the stage for over-indulgence,)

      Would it be over-indulgence to eat a lot of such healthy food? Well, maybe the chocolate part is a bit naughty but the rest of it is sooo virtuous 🙂

    Fabulous recipe! I will try this, that chocolate later on top looks so good! They remind me of the hale & hearty date flapjacks with that layer of choc! And also, I got a feeling you shop and abel&cole?! 🙂

      Ah, yes, very perceptive – my laziness of using their photos instead of taking my own has given me away 😉
