Yep, we're pretty useless, and Oat & Coconut Chocolate Bombs

A lot has been happening in our lives and so while the vegan gourmet journey continues, we have been too lazy/busy/disorganised to document it much :)

However, among other things I have recently obtained a decent camera and ordered a 320-page uber cookbook for my darling husband, and so soon we will be posting some awesome things with decent quality pics. Ta-daa!

Anyway, here's the recipe:

Oat and Coconut Chocolate Bombs
(veganised from: Lekker Sonskyn Resepte, circa before I was born)

Ingredients
500ml sugar
750ml oats
100ml cocoa
a fair bit of dessicated coconut*
125ml soy milk
5ml vanilla essence
125ml vegan low fat spread (i.e. Olé or Cardin)

Method
Mix sugar, soy milk, low fat spread and cocoa. Bring to boil, add oats and cook for 5 mins. Add vanilla essence. *At this point you can follow the original recipe and add the coconut, mix and spoon onto a greased baking tray. I made this for a school bake sale late at night and forgot to add the coconut. So I spooned little blobs of the mixture onto a layer of coconut covering said tray, rolled the little balls (+-2cm diameter) in the coconut and left to harden. Vòilà, oat and coconut chocolate bombs! And it contains protein, fibre and potassium so there :P
