A divine blend of seeds, combined with the natural sweetness of dates, make these a perfect dessert or birthday party treat.

MAKES: 24 small crackles

Prep Time: 10 mins

Chill Time: 1-2 hrs

Ingredients

½ c buckwheat groats

¼ c linseed

¼ c millet

¼ c sunflower seeds

¼ c cacao powder

5 medjool dates, pips
removed and roughly
chopped (or 10 dried dates)

2 T pure maple syrup

⅓ c coconut oil, melted

Method

Line a 24-cup mini muffin tray with
mini cupcake liners or baking paper.

Place buckwheat groats, linseed, millet, sunflower seeds and cacao powder in a bowl.

Place medjool dates, pure maple syrup and melted coconut oil in food processor and process until evenly mixed and smooth (ok to have a little bit of texture). Combine the two bowls together.

Three quarter fill muffin trays with mixture. Using slightly dampened hands or the back of a spoon, press down until mixture is firmly compacted. Allow to set for 1-2 hours in the fridge.

Serve either on their own in liners or remove and serve with fresh seasonal fruit.
