Ingredients
- 1 cup + 1 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil (measure at room temperature state - fluffy form, not melted)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter, organic salted at room temperature (or warm to soften)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt (dash)
- crust:
- 1/4 cup organic hemp seeds (or almond powder)
- topping:
- 1-2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter, softened to drizzle-able state
- 1-2 tbsp raw cacao nibs
Directions
-
Add all the ingredients to a blender (high speed works best.)
-
Blend until smooth and creamy. DON’T OVER BLEND!
-
Spread crust hemp seeds over bottom of a glass dish (anything about 7"-10" inches square – or close to it – will work.)
-
Pour the blended mixture right over top the hemp seeds.
-
Warm the peanut butter topping (microwave a few seconds) and drizzle over top the mixture. Swirl it with a toothpick for pretty designs. Sprinkle the cacao nibs over top.
-
Place dish in freezer for about 15-20 minutes – or until the center of the mixture has firmed – enough to slice into bars. This may take longer or shorter depending on how thick your bars have been poured. If you are not serving the bars for a few hours you can just place the dish in the fridge. Store leftover bars in fridge.
