Put the berries and water in a small saucepan on a medium heat. Let them cook for around 5 minutes, then add the 1 tbsp of maple syrup / coconut sugar

Step 2

Cook for about 12 minutes altogether or until you have a thick sauce, but where berries are not completely broken down.

Leave the sauce to cool while you make the rest of the bars

Step 4

Preheat oven to 180 C. Line a baking tin or brownie tray.

Then add the almond flour and baking powder to the mix, and combine well.

Step 7

Add the chocolate chunks and salted peanuts to the mix and combine (but keeping a small handful aside). Then transfer the whole mixture to the brownie tin.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate and salted peanuts you kept aside on the mixture in the tin, and press them down.
