If you have ever had Nutella, and been missing the taste, this recipe will be exciting for you!
For me, the secret is buying roasted hazelnuts. I have tried roasting them myself, but haven't gotten that quite right.
You can check off the healthy foods of nuts, flax, and a fruit with this tasty snack!
See Dr Greger's Daily Dozen.
Chocolate Hazelnut Energy Bars / "Nutella" Squares
1/2c walnuts
3/4c hazelnuts, roasted*
1/2c flaxseed, ground
3/4c dates, pitted
1/4c cocoa, unsweetened
1 Tbsp water
Blend nuts, flax, and dates in a food processor ~ about 2 min. Then add cocoa and water to prevent cocoa from coming out the tiny openings of your food processor.
Form dough into whatever shape you like! It was fun pressing into a 9x9" pan and cutting into squares. Freezing briefly (20 min) before cutting helps, but is not necessary. Enjoy!
*remember, roasted hazelnuts are key!
Try other flavors! (I call these "Laraballs"...after Larabars :) )
