Cacao & Macadamia Bars

Ingredients:

• 40g finely chopped dried dates
• 100ml warm water
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 300g goat or sheep's strained yoghurt
• 2 scoops (50g) of Bio-Logos Protein Powder with Cacao and Banana
• 60g ground macadamia nuts (alternatively use blanched hazelnuts)
• 30g chopped macadamia nuts
• 10g coconut flour

For Decoration:
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp organic cacao powder
- 2 tbsp tahini paste

Instructions:

1. Finely chop the dates and soak them in warm water and vanilla extract. Stir in the ground flaxseed and let the mixture sit.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, ground macadamia nuts, protein powder, and coconut flour until well mixed. Now mix in the chopped nuts.
3. Merge the date mixture with the yoghurt mixture to form a unified, sticky mass.
4. Place the mass on a piece of parchment paper and cover it with another sheet. Use a rolling pin to flatten the mixture to approximately 3 cm thickness.
5. Cut into 10 bars: Remove the top sheet of parchment and cut the mass into bars or squares.
6. Transfer the bars, along with the bottom parchment paper, onto a wide platter.
7. Combine the honey, cacao powder, and tahini paste in a small saucepan. Heat gently while whisking vigorously to create a smooth paste. Decoratively drizzle the paste over the bar using a spoon, forming diagonal lines.
8. Refrigerate the bars for at least one hour. Serve chilled, ideally one to two bars per serving.
