Five Ingredient California Walnut Energy Bars
Preparation time: 10 mins, plus chilling time
Makes: 16
You’ll need:
100g California walnuts (plus 16 walnut halves for decorating)
200g medjool dates
150g dried cranberries
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 heaped tsp beetroot powder
Method
Place 100g of the California walnuts into a food processor and pulse into a fine meal. Add the dates, cranberries and cocoa powder and process until the mixture is smooth and forms together into one lump.
Tip the mixture onto a small square lined baking tray and flatten with the back of a metal spoon into a smooth, even layer. Place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
Once chilled, dust the top with the beetroot powder, cut into 16 bars and top each with a walnut half. Store in an airtight container.
