Ingredients

  • 110g ground almonds
  • 15g sesame seeds
  • 60g tahini
  • 60g liquid sweetener (brown rice or maple syrup, raw honey)
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 50g dark chocolate, preferably raw (I use the Ombar 90% product, Seed&Bean chocolates Extra Dark (or their truffles) or the Montezuma Ultimate Black)

Preparation

01

Preheat your oven to 175C, line a tray with a silicone mat.

02

Mash the banana with the tahini & syrup in a bowl before adding the almonds, sesame seeds & mixing to a dough. Cut the chocolate into rough chunks.

03

Stir though the bicarbonate of soda & then fold in the chocolate pieces.

04

Spoon tablespoon sized amounts of dough onto your tray leaving BIG GAPS between them (they spread!). Smooth the tops with a wet spoon/knife & then bake in the lower half of the oven for 10 minutes.

05

Leave to cool for at least 10-15 minutes on the tray (or they’ll fall apart) then devour with great gusto or store in an airtight container using within a week.
