Ingredients

- 1 and a half cups of raw buckwheat grain

- 1 and a half cups desiccated coconut

- 1 tbsp. of coconut oil

- 1 ripe banana

- 8 dried dates

- 1 teaspoon of raw honey

- Small handful of raisins

- 2 cups of water

Preparation

This recipe is relatively straightforward to prepare, but does require some forward planning.

First, soak the buckwheat in water for around 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, drain and place in a bowl and leave in your fridge overnight. At the same time, pop your dates in a separate bowl of water and leave these too, to soften overnight. The following morning place the dates into a blender. Blitz until smooth and then add in the ripe banana. Place the buckwheat into a bowl and mix in both the desiccated coconut and the coconut oil. Stir in the date mixture before returning everything to the blender once more and blending into a stiff paste. With this mixture, pop in the raisins and gently mix in with a spoon. Finally, press this mixture into a suitable tray and pop into the refrigerator to set.
