Directions
In a high-powered blender, blend the oats until a flour forms.
You can also use ready-made oat flour. Add to a large bowl.
Repeat process for the walnuts and almonds, being sure not to over-process them.
Add to the bowl and gently break apart any clumps with your fingers.
Leave a few larger pieces for texture. Stir in the cinnamon.
Add dates and water to blender and process until the mixture forms a ‘date water’.
Add banana and blend until well combined.
Add date mixture to dry ingredients and mix until no flour remains.
Stir in vanilla and the wolfberries.
Line a 20cm square pan with baking paper.
Scoop the dough into the pan. With a wet spoon spread the dough until smooth.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Place the unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-proof bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute, stir, and heat for another 30 seconds or until completely melted.
Remove pan from freezer. Using a small spoon, drizzle with chocolate to add a decorative touch. Cut into squares.
Store in the freezer for a guilt-free snack. They can be eaten straight from the freezer or heated in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.
