Raw Chocolate Super Seed Breakfast Bar
This no-bake and nutrient-dense bar comes together in 10 minutes. What makes this particular bar special is that it’s NOT held together by loads of sugar or sticky-sweet dates. Instead, we use apple sauce, maple syrup, almond butter, coconut oil and a coarse sunflower meal. What’s all that good stuff holding together? Oats, cocoa and a boatload of seeds: hemp, chia and flax. Hello superfoods, hello fiber! It’s nutty, seedy and very cocoa forward — especially after you drizzle rich, sweet dark chocolate over it.
