Sweetened or unsweetened cocoa powder? Thanks!
Unsweetened but you can use sweetened if you like.
Delicious! I was worried 2 tbsp of cocoa powder would be too sweet but it was the perfect amount of chocolate taste, ratio of all the ingredients was perfect. And perfectly filling.
This was delicious! I just left out the nut butter and used date paste as sweetener and only one tbsp of cocoa, topped it with berries. I ate half of it when my kid decided its hers, she also loved it
Too much cocoa. I can barely eat it. Cocoa super super strong. I will have to try it with protein powder next time or way less cocoa as this is barely edible. Also can’t taste the cashew butter as the cocoa is overpowering
this seems so delicious! -can I ask for the ingredients ?
The ingredients are all listed in the recipe above! Enjoy 🙂
This is extremely yummy. I’ve made it twice so far. This morning I topped it with bananas when I arrived to work…
