Quick bites: How to make these delicious vegan chocolate power bars

Thanks to Lizi’s for this recipe, which makes one tray of these tasty treats.

You’ll need

• 200g mixture of sultanas, prunes or dried fruit
• 180g Lizi’s High Protein granola
• Three tablespoons of cocoa powder mixed with three tablespoons of boiling water
• Four tablespoons of almond butter or peanut butter
• Three tablespoons of desiccated coconut
• One tablespoon of oil – coconut, rapeseed, sunflower or olive oil
• One tablespoon of agave nectar
• Pinch of salt

Method

1. Blitz the dried fruit mixture in a food processor or blender. If they are very dry, add one tablespoon of water, and only add two tablespoons to the cocoa.
2. Mix the cocoa powder with the boiling water in a mug.
3. Once the dried fruit mixture is sticky and smooth, add all of the other ingredients and blitz again.
4. Line a baking tin with non-stick baking paper.
5. Scrape in the mixture and press down very firmly. You will need to use your fingers to really push it down.
6. Use your fingertips to press about 20g of Lizi’s High Protein granola on top.
7. Chill for 2-3 hours, or ideally overnight.
8. Use a large, sharp knife and slice into pieces. Wrap a few individual bars in non-stick baking paper so you can take them with you on your run or daily exercise.
