Healthier Version:
No-bake Chocolate-topped Munchies
No-bake Chocolate-topped Munchies
For
many years I used to make a No-Bake Munchie recipe that had a base of
butter, honey and peanut butter that was heated on the stove, then you
added in oats, seeds, nuts, dried fruit, cereal, and carob or chocolate
powder or whatever you wanted. Well, now I limit the butter, and peanut
butter, but I do miss those munchies! So I made a new-fangled, little
healthier version today that I can eat . . .
No-Bake Chocolate-Topped Munchies!
Mixing the Munchie batter
For the basic recipe I added the following to 2 - 2 1/2 cups of steel-cut (or rolled) oats and mixed all together:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
- 4 tsp raw cacao powder (or cocoa or carob powder)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2-3 Tbs coconut butter
- 1 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- dark chocolate (to melt for topping)
Then
I added in: a few tablespoons of chia seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut
flakes, raisins, and sesame seeds. You have the option to use what you
desire or have on hand: nuts, seeds, dried fruit, etc. (The add-ins should amount to less than 1 cup.) If it's not
wanting to stick together, add a bit more sweetener or coconut oil till
it does.
Smooth
mixture into a glass dish that has been coated with a little olive oil.
Chill, cut, and eat plain or top with chocolate like I did.
Cut and enjoy!
