Avocados in Bloom

CHOCOLATE NUT BARS These nut bars are actually a healthy snack disguised as chocolate—perfect for getting kids to eat some fiber, protein, and healthy fats. INGREDIENTS 100g coconut oil

For the chocolate topping:

100g oats

100g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

2 avocados, pits and skins removed 50ml maple syrup, or more to taste 100g pumpkin seeds

To serve (optional): grated coconut, edible flowers

100g walnuts 3 tbsp. cacao powder, or more to taste 200g dates, finely chopped

EQUIPMENT NEEDED Food processor

Baking paper

Small rectangular baking tray ±20–30 cm

METHOD 1 Melt the coconut oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the oats and fry until golden brown. This may take a while.

4 Line the baking tray with a piece of baking paper and spoon the mixture in, spreading it so it’s even.

2 Meanwhile, mix the avocado flesh with the maple syrup in a food processor until it’s thoroughly combined and smooth like butter.

5 Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie (see p.74). Pour the chocolate over the oat mixture and spread it so the oats are evenly coated.

3 Add all the other ingredients to the food processor, including the browned oats. Pulse until the mixture is as coarse or as fine as you like. Taste and adjust the maple syrup and/or cacao to your liking.

6 Decorate with coconut or edible flowers, if using, and freeze for at least 1 hour. 7 To serve, cut into bars. They can be stored in the fridge for at least 2 days.
