Easy-to-make bars from The Athlete’s Fix by Pip Taylor
Ingredients
Serves 8
Prep 10 mins
■ 200g dried figs
■ 200g prunes
■ 150g dried cranberries, unsweetened
■ 150g shredded coconut, unsweetened
■ 145g almond flour
■ 1 tsp cinnamon
■ 1 tsp ground ginger
■ ½ tsp ground nutmeg
■ 2 tsp allspice
■ 20g puffed rice
Method
1. In a large food processor combine the figs, prunes, cranberries, coconut, almond flour, and spices.
2. Mix on high until the fruit is mashed up and the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Turn the speed to low and mix in the puffed rice – some of it will get chopped up, but the aim is to keep the pieces whole and evenly distributed throughout the sticky mixture. If your food processor doesn’t have a low setting, mix in the puffed rice by hand.
3. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined pan and store in the fridge to set.
4. Cut into small squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
5. Alternatively, roll the mixture into small balls before storing in the refrigerator. If desired, roll them in some extra dried coconut to stop them from sticking together. These bars will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days.
