Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pitted,dried dates, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried figs, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 85g of butter
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 Tbsp Healtheries Ground Chia
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- Dash of cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup Healtheries No Added Sugar Milk Chocolate Baking Bits
Method
- Place the chopped dates and figs into a heat- proof bowl and pour over freshly boiled water. Leave to soften for 15 minutes.Meanwhile, pre- heat the oven to 180ºc and line a brownie pan with baking paper.
- Drain the fruit through a sieve to remove the excess water. Place the dates and figs in a food processor with the melted butter and eggs and process until creamy.
- Add the remaining ingredients, except for 1/2 cup of chocolate, and pulse to bring the mixture together.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press the mixture down firmly using the back of a spoon or your hands.
- Bake for 15- 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly in the pan. Once cooled but still warm, cut the slice into squares.
- To make the chocolate drizzle, place a small saucepan of water over a medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of milk chocolate bits into a bowl to fit the top of the saucepan and gently melt the chocolate over the simmering water.
- Once the chocolate is melted, use a fork to drizzle it over top of the slice.
- Once the chocolate has set, store the slice in an air- tight container in the fridge for 4- 5 days.
