Vegan Superfood Chocolate Recipe

Buckinis are raw buckwheat groats that have been soaked then dried at a very low heat to preserve their awesome nutrients. You’ll find them in health-food stores and online.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons craisins

1 tablespoon toasted buckinis, (buckwheat)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon shredded coconut

⅓ cup coconut oil, melted

1 cup raw cacao powder

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract

Method

Place the craisins, buckinis, chia seeds and shredded coconut in a bowl and mix until well combined. Divide half the mixture among 14 holes of a 2 tablespoon capacity ice-cube tray.

Place the coconut oil, cacao powder, maple syrup and vanilla in a heatproof jug and whisk until well combined and smooth. 

Spoon evenly over the craisin mixture in the tray, then sprinkle with the remaining craisin mixture. Chill for 2 hours or until set firm. Serve chilled.
