Ingredients

Bars

  • 1 c Cashew Butter
  • 1/3 c Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 tsp. Sea salt
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla
  • 2 c Rolled oats
  • 1/2 c Buckwheat groats

  • 1/4 c Hemp seeds
  • 1/4 c Cacao nibs

Chocolate Toppings

  • 1 tbsp. Coconut oil
  • 3/4 c Chocolate
  • 1 tbsp. Maple

Instructions

To make bars:

  1. Heat a wide skillet and add oats and buckwheat. Toast on low heat until browned and fragrant, careful not to burn, about 7-10 minutes. Stir or toss frequently. When finished, pour oats and buckwheat into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add chopped nuts to the same skillet and toast until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Pour nuts into bowl with oats and buckwheat.
  3. Add the fruit, hemp seeds and cacao nibs to the nut and grain mixture.
  4. Mix together the nut butter, maple, vanilla and sea salt until smooth.
  5. Add nut butter mixture to the oat mixture and fold together until well combined.
  6. Line a 8x8 square pan with parchment and press the nut butter mixture into the pan.

To make topping and finish:

  1. Combine chocolate, maple and coconut oil in a sauce pan. Melt and combine over low heat.
  2. Let chocolate cool slightly, and then pour over the bars, using a spatula to get all of the chocolate out of the pan (of course!). Pick up the baking pan and tilt from side to side, front to back, working the chocolate evenly over the surface of the bars.
  3. Put in the refrigerator and allow let set for at least 2 hours before remove and cutting into bars.
