These delicious high energy bars feature sprouted buckwheat groats, which you'll find down our Bulk Aisle. Perfect for your next hike or camping trip.

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups sprouted buckwheat groats
• ½ cup chopped Deglet dates, soaked in water the day before
• ¼ cup raw cacao powder
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• 1 heaped tbsp tahini
• 1 heaped tbsp coconut oil
• ¼ cup chopped nuts of choice
• ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Remove the dates from their water but save it in case you need some of the liquid.
2. Use a food processor to blend the dates, vanilla, sea salt, tahini, coconut oil, cacao powder and cinnamon until a paste forms.
3. Turn off the food processor and mix in the sprouted buckwheat and chopped nuts until well combined. Add some date soaking water, working slowly and bit by bit.
4. Scoop out mixture into a pan or baking tray, flatten with a spatula or back of a spoon. You can also shape into balls.
5. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm.
6. Cut into slices with a sharp knife. Store the bars in the freezer for extra crunch.
