Buckwheat Puffs 150g

The Perfect  Crunch for Snacking & Creating.Discover the delightful lightness of our Buckwheat Puffs – airy, crispy, and bursting with wholesome goodness.

Made from 100% whole buckwheat that has been heated and puffed under pressure, these puffs offer a satisfying crunch without heaviness. Despite its name, buckwheat is not a wheat but a highly nutritious seed, making these puffs a fantastic, naturally gluten-free option for the whole family.

SpicenEasy's No-Bake Buckwheat Puff Energy Bars

• Prep Time: 15 minutes (+ 1 hour setting)

• Cook Time: 0 minutes

• Makes: 10-12 bars

Ingredients:

• 2 cups SpicenEasy Buckwheat Puffs

• 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if required)

• ½ cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter)

• ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

• ¼ cup seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, or chia)

• ¼ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)

• 2 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• Optional: 2 tbsp protein powder, ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Line Pan: Line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch) square baking tin with baking paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine buckwheat puffs, rolled oats, seeds, dried fruit, and any optional additions.

3. Heat Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the nut butter, honey/maple syrup, and coconut oil until melted and easily stirred together. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.

4. Combine: Pour the warm wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

5. Press Firmly: Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin. Use the back of a spoon or a piece of baking paper to press down very firmly and evenly – this is key to the bars holding together.

6. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm.

7. Slice and Store: Lift out of the tin using the paper and cut into bars or squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Chef's Tip: Pressing the mixture down VERY firmly is the secret to bars that don't crumble. If your mixture seems too dry, add an extra tablespoon of nut butter or honey. For a chocolate version, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top before chilling. These bars are perfect for customizing with your favourite nuts, seeds, and spices like cinnamon!
