Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients 

Base

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup raw almonds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tbs melted coconut oil
  • 3 tbs maple syrup
  • 3 tbs water

Chocolate Layer

  • 400 g pitted prunes chopped
  • 4 tbs good quality cocoa
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut
  • 2 tbs maple syrup
  • pinch sea salt
  • 2 tbs water

Topping

  • desiccated coconut to sprinkle

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 175 degrees C.
  • Line a 8"x8" slice pan with baking paper or parchment.
  • Combine all base ingredients into a food processor and blitz until combined and the mix sticks together. Press the mix firmly and evenly in to the slice tray.
  • Clean out processor and add all chocolate layer ingredients to the now clean bowl. Blitz until combined and spread evenly over base layer.
  • The mix is sticky so I use a wet fork to wrestle it into submission. Sprinkle enough coconut to cover the slice all over.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. To toast the coconut top layer, pop the slice under the broiler for a minute or two to toast.
  • Remove from oven and let the slice rest for 10 minutes for cutting to serve.

Notes

Should I soak the prunes before using them?
If stored properly, prunes should stay soft and sticky. Having said that, I've had some readers have trouble processing their prunes in the food processor so a quick soak in boiling water for 10-minutes should do the trick. It's also worth giving them a chop before going into your machine.
