Peanut butter dream

This no bake, raw, nutty dream is a heavenly tasty treat come true! I was over the moon when this creation turned out so well, it's the first raw sweet treat that I've made that is tongue ticklingly tasty with indulgence, while staying super duper healthy for you. And it has three of my most favouritist things in the food world inside of it...
Peanut butter, banana, and CHOCOLATE,



Here's the ingredients...

for the base

1 cup almonds
1 cup hazelnuts
2/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup oats
1/2 cup agave/maple syrup
2 cups corn flakes
1 tbsp smooth peanut butter ( I use Meridian's natural - no added sugar or salt)
1/2 cup cacao nibs
1 tbsp coconut oil - melted

Blend the nuts, seeds and oats until just broken, transfer to a large bowl then add corn flakes and cacao nibs and mix. In a separate bowl, mix together agave, peanut butter and coconut oil, then transfer to nut and seed mix and stir well until all combined. If mix seems a little to crumbly, add a tiny bit of soya milk and stir well.
Transfer to a baking tray, pressing down well, and leave to set in freezer for 1 hour. 

for the topping

3 tbsp peanut butter
1 cup chopped dried banana
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp agave/maple syrup
2 tbsp boiling water
1 tbsp coconut oil - melted

Once the base has been left to set for an hour, take out of the freezer and start with the topping.
Spread the peanut butter evenly on top of the base, then sprinkle on the dried banana.
In a small bowl mix together the cocoa powder, agave/maple syrup, melted coconut oil, boiling water and the almond extract until all combined and it resembles melted chocolate, then lovingly drizzle it all over the peanut butter and banana topping..then treat yourself and lick the bowl!
Pop in the freezer for another hour, (or 20 minutes if you can't wait any longer to dig into it).
Once hardened, cut into squares and enjoy!
Share with friends and family and they'll love you forever ;)

Peanut butter love
