Raw Chocolate Date Bars | Vegan GF

I am all about the minimal ingredient recipes. I love that these raw chocolate date bars can be made with as little as 4 ingredients, and they are naturally refined-sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan. A simple healthy dessert recipe that can be made in batches, and frozen for later – when you need that sweet treat.

The best thing about making raw desserts is that they are naturally free of refined flour and refined sugar. Most of the time they are sweetened with dates, which are not only a great natural sweetener, they are also packed full of fibre and potassium. Here is my recipe for a Raw Chocolate Date Bars which rivals my other favourite raw chocolate date bar recipe, this favourite Raw Chocolate Brownie with Caramel Icing.

Two Ingredient Raw Chocolate Recipe [Vegan]

By 6 Comments

Making 100% raw chocolate at home is as easy as adding the ingredients to a food processor. This Two-Ingredient Raw Chocolate Recipe is as authentic as it gets and packed full of flavanols for a healthy antioxidant load.

The use of chocolate medicinally dates back at least 3,000 years. The health benefits have been linked to epicatechin, a flavanol found in the cacao bean (1), and current-day research supports its use for various health conditions. If you’re a chocolate lover like me you likely appreciate the full complexity of flavour that really good quality chocolate provides. In my experience, making chocolate from 100% raw cacao beans is the only way to replicate this flavour intensity at home.

By 3 Comments

This post for Dark Vegan Chocolate Bark Made Three Ways is sponsored by iHerb. As always the opinons are absolutly my own.

For me, nothing compares to the dedication and ingenuity of a homemade DIY Christmas Gift. The reducing, reusing and repurposing helps lessen our environmental footprint during this season of excess. Some take advantage of their handy nature, while others zone in on their crafty skills, but for me, I often gift edible Christmas presents which has included Peanut Butter Energy Balls or Toasted Muesli In a Jar in the past. This Medicinal Dark Vegan Chocolate Bark Made Three Ways is made using maple syrup and real cocoa butter for the authentic chocolate taste. Some of my favourite flavour combinations for this Chocolate Bark include Peppermint and Toasted Coconut, Cherries and Toasted Almonds, and Coffee and Cacao Nibs. This Christmas I’ve also added a little medicine (or some may say magic) to this bark for a truly healthy start to the New Year.

I tried serving him homemade sushi once, and it was no secret that it wasn’t his favourite meal. So when I wanted to serve him avocado for dessert what did I do? Not tell him of course, and it turns out that he loved it! This recipe is decadent and delicious. This combination of honey, coconut cream, and real dark chocolate makes for a delicious dessert on their own – the avocado is just a bonus!
