…Make way for super hummus! Yes, it uses all the same ingredients as regular hummus, but sprouting the chickpeas means next-level, enzyme-rich nutrition.

The bases also freeze well – I keep a stash of small ones in the freezer, waiting to be turned into school lunches….

Yep, that’s because there’s peanut butter in all three layers of this decadent slice (you can swap it out for almond butter, but I’m a PB freak from way back) The base is a simple nutty date ‘dough’, the luscious middle layer of caramel involves dates & nut butter blended until smooth, while the chocolate coating is a rich blend of cacao, maple and – you guessed it – nut butter!…
