HOW TO MAKE IT

What ingredients you need:

1 ½ C rolled oats
2 ¼ C water (plus extra for overnight soaking)
¼ tsp fine sea salt
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger (add 1/2 teaspoon for a more spicy flavour)
⅛ tsp allspice
3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla
2-4 Tbsp pecan halves
Handful of raisins

For the icing:
1 Tbsp Cacao Butter, melted
1 Tbsp coconut milk, warmed
½ tsp fresh lemon juice
½ Tbsp pure maple syrup

Method:

STEP 1: To make the oats extra creamy either soak overnight, or for about 1-2 hours before preparation.

STEP 2: Rinse the oats after soak time. In a pot with 2 ¼ C water, salt, cinnamon, ginger and allspice simmer for about 5 minutes, or to desired consistency. In the meantime, blend up the icing ingredients.

STEP 3: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Top with pecans, raisins and drizzle with maple syrup and optional cacao butter icing.

How to get those healthy fruit portions in on a day of chocolate? Dip them in chocolate sauce of course! Strawberries are a sweet, juicy fruit source of vitamin C and antioxidants. Dipped in raw chocolate they are made even more healthy with the antioxidants and minerals from cacao. Super easy to do and a delight for the lunch table!

If you’re looking for something extra special, here are some creamy, soft-centred chocolates to try. You have the option to temper them too. You could also add a few chopped almonds to the filling for a crunchy centre, and some vanilla or more salt, and even a smidgen of peppermint essential oil for different flavours. Have fun with this!

Pink chocolates are a cute and unexpected surprise! Here we show you how to make them using our Glow Superfood Protein Shake which adds that extra dose of easily digestible protein and nourishing minerals… you can buy bunny moulds here.
