Instructions
- Soak the dates and raisins in warm water, and later grind them into a paste using a blender or mixer.
- Roast the rest of the ingredients in an oven or stovetop on low heat until well toasted and a nice aroma wafts across.
- Once done, they can either be chopped into bits or use a mixer/blender if youââ¬â¢d like it to be finer.
- In a big mixing bowl, take out the dates and raisin paste. Add cocoa powder and mix well.
- Add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, mix well and then add the rest of the ingredients including choco chips.
- Pour this onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, with a little overhang so as to easily remove it from tray.
- Flatten well with a spatula or your palm greased with ghee. Make sure to press well or they might break when cutting them.
- Bake for 12-15 mins @ 150 degrees Celsius. Now remove the tray and cool it before refrigerating for an hour or so.
- Cut into squares or logs and dig in for the perfect snap to tackle hunger pangs!
