Happy vegan friday! A surprise breakfast for my chocolate loving elder son. He loved it. My little kid didn't even want to hear about it, being upset that I did not prepare something fruity especially for him, no trace of chocolate. As if the cinnamon spiced muffins I prepared yesterday were not especially made for him... OK, I'll repair my mistake...
These cereal bars were delicious, very chocolaty and filled with goodies: cashews, goji, raisins, seeds, rolled oats, no milk at all. Vegan. Raw vegan.
I have to say that my perfect, dream breakfast is a french crusty baguette with brie cheese and jambon blanc, preferably served in the sun, watching the sea, but the chocolate surprise for my son was super yum. It's true that I eat it as a coffee cake, not as breakfast, but I loved it. Perfect for my chocolate cravings. Not to mention that I skipped the oven, a blessing in this hot weather.
Cereal chocolate bars... A guilty pleasure hidden in a scrumptious breakfast ♥
70 g cocoa powder, the best quality you can find
70 ml coconut oil, heated just a little bit, on bain marie (slightly warm, not hot)
120 ml agave syrup
1 lgt lecithin powder
1 small red beetroot, raw, well washed, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp goji
4 tbsp raw cashews
4 tbsp golden raisins
4 tbsp sun flower seeds, raw
6 tbsp rolled oats (without any honey, simple)
Prepare a tray (10 x 10 cm) with baking paper. Put the beetroot in the blender and blitz until pureed. Add cocoa, coconut oil, agave syrup, lecithin, mix well. Transfer the chocolate cream to a bowl and add gojji, cashews, golden raisins, sun flower seeds and rolled oats, mixing carefully. Pour the mixture in the prepared tray and refrigerate until next day.
By now, the chocolate should set enough to be easily cut. Serve it cold and keep refrigerated until serving.
Yummi :)
