A delicious, high fiber power bar made of whole foods, with soy protein, and nuts, sweetened only with dates, and a little 70% dark chocolate on top. Ingredients:
10 ounces silken low-fat tofu, drained well (almost the whole package) |
15 large medjool dates, pitted |
1/4 cup coconut oil |
3 cups rolled oats |
1/4 cup sunflower seeds |
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds |
1/4 cup ground flax seeds |
1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup almonds |
1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional) or 1/4 cup raisins (optional) or 1/4 cup chopped dried fruit (optional) |
6 ounces 70% dark chocolate |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Puree the tofu, dates and coconut oil in a blender.
3. Transfer this paste to a bowl.
4. Add oats and nuts and seeds and dried fruits as you desire.
5. Spray coat a 9x13 inch pan.
6. Spread the mixture evenly into the pan.
7. Cook for 30 minutes, or until firm and browned.
8. Melt the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl.
9. Spread melted chocolate over the top of the bars.
10. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour, or put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
11. Cut into small 1x3 or 2x4 inch pieces, they are very filling!
12. These keep well for a week in the fridge, or for 3 months in the freezer. I freeze 3/4 of my batch and eat them straight out of the freezer, they're not too hard!
