Triple nut chocolate-espresso bars
Coffee
Every year I add a few more steps towards good nutrition. I was inspired to create a homemade version of my favorite store bought breakfast/snack bar to control sugar, oil and salt by using intensely flavored ingredients that can help improve health. The beauty of going homemade allows you to tailor to your own taste. <br /> <br />This bar, consisting of old fashioned rolled oats and a variety of nuts, is spiked with espresso powder, crushed dark chocolate covered espresso beans, and moistened together with extra virgin olive oil. The coffee bean boasts of health benefits and helps to turn up the dark chocolate flavor, also discovered to have a number of healthy benefits. It's sweetened with vanilla powder, palm sugar, hazelnut liquor and bound together with organic blue agave nectar, a natural plant-based sweetener, and finally topped with pinches of flaky sea salt. <br /> <br />I find the sweet and salty combination irresistible and the chocolate espresso a true pick-me-up. <br /> <br />Here's to health! <br />
