Makes 28-32 squares (depending on the size you cut them)

INGREDIENTS

• 2/3 cup melted coconut butter

• 1 cup macadamia nut butter or 1 jar of this macadamia nut butter

• 4 Tbsp quality cacao powder

• 4 Tablespoons of lakanto or sweetener of your choice to taste

• 3 cups shredded coconut

• 6 Tablespoons collagen powder

• Optional Add Ins; cinnamon, ginger powder, cardamom, vanilla, orange zest, a few drops of peppermint or orange oils

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Line a slice tin or container with baking paper.

2. Add the coconut butter into a small saucepan. Heat on a low to medium heat until melted. Remove from the heat.

3. If you’re using powdered sweetener (lakanto), add it into your food processor and give it a quick blend to blitz it into a fine powder.

4. Add all remaining ingredients into a food processor and blend to combine.

5. Taste the mixture and add a touch more sweetener if desired. If you’ve chosen to use liquid sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup, you may need to add in a touch more collagen and shredded coconut to make up for the added wetness.

6. Pour into the lined tin or container. Sprinkle a little more shredded coconut on top.

7. Place into the fridge to set. Once it’s ready, slice into squares.

TIPS

• If you can’t find macadamia nut butter, or if it’s too expensive, use almond or cashew nut butter

• If you can’t tolerate nuts, use homemade sunflower seed butter or hulled tahini (however, it will strongly taste of tahini)

• If you don’t use a powdered sweetener (ie; honey or maple syrup), you may need to add in a touch more collagen and/ or shredded coconut to make up for the added moisture

• If you’re vegan or choose not to eat collagen, you can add in a touch more shredded coconut instead, or try adding in some adaptogens, or maca powder, your favourite mushroom powders, cinnamon or ginger powder or perhaps a scoop of your preferred protein powder

• Freeze half of the squares in ziplock bags or silicon bags so you can have a healthy snack on hand
