Blueberry Chocolate Energy Bars


Blueberry Chocolate Energy Bars

Ingredients



12 (About 230g) Moist Medjool Dates, pitted and chopped

2 Cups (240g) Raw Almond (without skin)

½ Cup (50g) Organic Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 Cup (160g) Dried Blueberries, divided
A Pinch of Sea Salt
3 Tbsp Hemp Seeds
Zest of 1 Lemon
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 ½ to 2 Tbsp Filtered Water



Equipment: Food Processor
11 ½ x 4 ½ inches (29 x 12 cm) Loaf pan, lined with aluminum foil



Method



Combine chopped dates, almonds, cocoa powder, cinnamon, ½ cup blueberries, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse and process all the ingredients together until the texture is coarse. Then add the hemp seeds, ½ cup of blueberries, lemon zest, a quick pulse, and add the lemon juice, a little water at a time until it reaches a dry but moist dough consistency. Scrape the dough mixture into the lined pan, press evenly with a rubber spatula, and chill for about an hour before serving.
