60g maca powder (or 1/2 protein powder, 1/2 maca)
10g chia seeds
100g cacao powder
good pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla essence or extract
250g almond meal

150 ml melted coconut oil
250 ml hot bean ground & drunk espresso

Soak chopped dates in espresso for 10-15 minutes then process till smooth, adding vanilla and melted coconut oil.

Mix all other ingredients in bowl and add date mixture until all combined (you can also do this in a processor but pulse in the buckwheat last so it doesn’t crush)
