Ingredients




2 cups almond flakes
1 cup almond flour
1 egg (optional)
1/2 cup agave syrup/honey
1/5 cup coconut oil, melted
50g dark chocolate

Preparation

1 Pre-heat the oven to 150c and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. 2 Mix the coconut oil and syrup together in a bowl. 3 Roughly chop the flaked almonds and mix together with the almond flour. 4 Combine the oil and syrup with the almond mix. 5 Roll the dough into small balls, and flatten out on the lined tray. 6 Bake for approximately 12 minutes. 7 Remove from the oven and allow to cool. 8 In the meantime, melt some chocolate by placing the dark chocolate in a bowl and placing the bowl over a pan filled 1/4 way with hot water. (Ensure that the bowl does not make contact with the water). 9 Once melted, coat the Florentines with the chocolate either by individually dipping in the bowl or by getting a spoon and pouring the chocolate over the Florentines. 10 Allow to cool before serving. 11 NB: 12 Roll and squash the balls together firmly. 13 Flatten the balls individually out on the tray and if necessary, re-shape so that they stay circular.
