Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup of oats
  • 1/2 cup of nuts (almond, walnut, cashew…)
  • 1 cup of pitted dates
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 can of chickpeas (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 extra ripe banana
  • 1,5 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
  • 24 tbsp maple syrup
  • goji berries, cacao nibs or fresh berries to decorate


Instructions

  1. Add nuts and oats to your food processor and pulse into powder. Add dates, maple syrup and vanilla extract and process until you get a dough which sticks together.
  2. Press dough into a pie dish or a springform cake pan (I used a 20 cm/8 inch pie form) and put in fridge until you prepare the filling.
  3. Drain and rinse chickpeas very well, then add to the food processor with banana and cacao powder. Blend until completely smooth. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup.
  4. Pour onto your crust and let it set for a few hours in the fridge. You can also keep it in the freezer until serving. Decorate with toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
