This afternoon I was having a massive craving for coconut rough! So here is my healthy alternative to coconut rough; gluten, dairy and refined sugar free.

What you'll need:

1 cup shredded coconut

1 cup hazelnut or almond meal

1 dessert spoon of vegan protein powder

1/4 cup rice malt syrup (or maple syrup/honey)

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

2 tablespoon raw cacao powder

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Add another tablespoon of melted coconut oil if mixture is too dry, and if you prefer if sweeter add extra rice malt syrup.

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender.
2. Spread out evenly into lined baking pan, refrigerate for 30mins or freeze for 15mins.
3. Cut into bite size pieces and enjoy!
