An edible version of one of Elle's absolute favourite scents - Pick Me Up that smells just like you're cooking a freshly baked treat in the oven.
The base:
11/2 cups roasted hazelnuts blended into flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup agave/maple syrup
4 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract pinch sea salt
The caramel:
1 1/2 cups pitted dates
1 tbsp cashew/hazelnut butter
3-4 tbsp agave/maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil pinch salt
Toppings:
80g hazelnut chocolate
Sprinkle of cacao nibs
Method:
Mix all the base ingredients together in a bowl until you have a moist but slightly crumbly texture. If it seems too dry, add a splash more liquid.
Press the mixture into your chosen tin or tray
To make the caramel blend all ingredients together to a thick chewy-caramel consistency, spread this on top of the base layer.
For the toppings melt around 80g hazelnut chocolate and spread evenly across the caramel.
Sprinkle over chopped hazelnuts and a sprinkle of cacao nibs (optional - you can really do whatever toppings you like!)
Let the slices set in the fridge for 30 minutes minimum and then slice and enjoy!
