My children love this organic, refined sugar free slice as an afternoon snack.
It gives them the energy for their after school activities with the added
nutritional boost of omega and protein.
Elise McKillop

Ingredients
• 3 cups Organic Puffed Brown Rice
• 3/4 cup Organic Crunchy Peanut Spread
• 2 tbsp Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
• 1/3 cup Organic Brown Rice Syrup
• 3/4 cup Organic Omega Seed Mix
• 1 tsp Organic Vanilla Powder
• 1/2 cup Organic Raw Almonds, roughly
chopped
Chocolate Topping
• 3 tbsp Organic Coconut Butter
• 2 tbsp Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
• 1/2 cup Organic Cacao Powder,
lightly packed
• 1 tbsp Organic Brown Rice Syrup
Method
1. Preheat a fan-forced oven to 150°C. Bake puffed rice for 15
minutes on a lined baking tray, stirring halfway through (this
gives the rice puffs a crunchy texture). Set aside.
2. Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper.
3. Add the peanut spread, coconut oil & vanilla to a saucepan
and combine, stirring consistently over a low heat. Remove
saucepan from heat and stir the brown rice syrup into the
mixture until combined. Allow to cool slightly, but not completely.
4. In a large bowl add the baked puffed rice and omega seed
mix. Then combine the wet mix with the dry mix and stir well.
5. Press the mixture firmly into a lined baking tin with the back
of a spoon. Place in freezer to set for approximately 20
minutes.
6. In the meantime, make the chocolate topping by adding
coconut butter and coconut oil to a small saucepan. Combine
over a low heat, adding the cacao powder and stirring.
Remove from heat and stir the brown rice syrup into the cacao
mix until well combined.
7. Pour your chocolate over the chilled slice and set in the
freezer for another 10 minutes.
8. Remove from freezer and allow to stand for a few minutes.
9. Slice into squares or bars and store in an airtight container
in the fridge for up to 5 days.

SERVES
8-10 Cooking time: 25 minutes

This healthy treat has all of my favourite things: simple and nourishing
ingredients, delicious flavour, textures of crunch and cream, and it is refined
sugar free! Eating these cookies is so much fun too...enjoy them whole or pull
them apart and lick the cream filling first!
Casey-Lee Lyons from Live Love Nourish

Ingredients
Cookies
• 2 cups Organic Natural Almond Meal
• 2 tbsp Organic Coconut Flour
• 1 tsp Organic Vanilla Powder
• 1/2 tsp Gluten & Aluminium Free Baking
Powder
• 1/3 cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
• 3 tbsp Organic Pure Maple Syrup
Strawberries & Cream Filling
• 1 cup fresh ripe strawberries, hulled
• 1/2 cup Organic Raw Cashews
• 1/4 cup tinned Organic Coconut Cream,
refrigerated overnight
• 1/4 cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
• 1 tsp Organic Vanilla Powder
Method
1. Preheat a fan-forced oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with
baking paper.
2. Combine almond meal, coconut flour, vanilla powder and
baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add melted coconut oil and
maple syrup and stir to combine well.
3. Spoon out a tablespoon of mixture at a time (or teaspoon for
mini cookies), and use your hands to mould into round, even
cookies. Lightly flatten as you place them along the baking tray.
4. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden (10-15
minutes if making mini cookies). Remove from oven and allow
them to cool completely.
6. To make the filling, open up the coconut cream and scoop out
1/4 cup of the thick, separated cream that has formed at the top
of the refrigerated tin. Store leftovers in the fridge for future use.
7. Blend the coconut cream with strawberries, cashews,
coconut oil and vanilla powder in a high powered blender until
smooth and creamy. Add a touch extra coconut cream if needed
to assist blending. Transfer to a bowl and set aside in refrigerator
until ready to use.
8. Spread filling onto half of the cooled cookies, then top with
remaining cookies.
9. Serve and enjoy straight away! Store any leftovers in the
refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
