RAW energy slice

Ingredients:
2 1/2 C mixed raw nuts (I literally use whatever I have in the pantry e.g. almonds, walnuts, cashews)
1 1/2 C mixed raw seeds (again, anything goes!: sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds etc.)
1 C shredded coconut
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 C goji berries
1/2 C coconut oil
1/3 C raw honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Chocolate drizzle: either 100 grams melted dark chocolate (over 65% cocoa), or make your own drizzle using equal parts cacao, coconut oil and raw honey/pure maple melted together)

Method:
Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside (this is a raw recipe, so it doesn't matter if your dish is oven proof)
In a food processor add your nuts, seeds, coconut and cinnamon pulse until the nuts and seeds have broken down BUT stop before you have whizzed it all into a flour, turn off the processor and pour into a mixing bowl and add the goji berries.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan melt the coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract until combined and add the pinch of salt, stirring through.
Pour the honey/oil mixture over the nut and seed mixture, stirring thoroughly until it is glossy and sticky.
Tip the mixture into your tray and press down firmly to create a compact slice (I prefer to use my hands for this step). Pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to cool.
Create your drizzle by either melting the dark chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, or by melting equal parts cacao, honey and coconut oil.
Remove your slice from the freezer, and while your drizzle is still warm and melted dip a spoon into it and wave it over the slice allowing it to drip over your slice in whatever abstract pattern you roll with! :-)
Slice it into small squares - around 5cm X 5cm and keep it stored in the fridge, lasts 2 weeks.
In the freezer it lasts 1 month (yeah right! you'll eat it first).
