- 30 g / 1.1 oz butter
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and use a fork to whisk them together with some salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Watch carefully — the butter shouldn’t turn brown! Pour the eggs into the hot pan and stir for 1–2 minutes, until they are creamy and cooked just shy of how you like them. Remember that the eggs will still be cooking even after you’ve put them on your plate.
- 1 cup packed, pitted Medjool dates (10-12)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup unflavoured protein powder (I use Garden of Life Raw)
- 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt, or to taste
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract, or to taste
- 1/2 cup pistachios
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 1 tbsp raw millet (optional)
- 4 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1-2 tbsp large flake unsweetened coconut
Line a loaf pan with two pieces of parchment paper, one going each way. Set aside. In a food processor. Process the pitted dates until chopped and sticky.
Add in the rolled oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, salt, peppermint extract, and almond milk. Process until combined, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Finally, add in pistachios, optional millet, and chocolate chips and pulse until combined and sticky. It should be sticky enough to easily make a ball.
Crumble mixture all over prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle a handful of flaked coconut on top and press mixture into pan with slightly wet fingers. Cover with a piece of parchment paper and roll out smooth with a pastry roller.
Freeze for about 15 minutes or until set. Slice into 6 rows and then slice rows in half to make 12 small bars. Use a neutral-tasting protein powder.
