Instructions

1. Soak the prunes and dates in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes to soften them. Drain but retain the liquid.
2. Add the nuts and sunflower seeds to a food processor and blitz until they have broken down to a crumb like consistency.
3. Add the prunes and dates and blitz again. If you are having difficulty processing the mixture add a few spoonfuls of the retained water at a time to help get it moving.
4. Once the prunes and dates have broken down, add the flaxseed, cocoa powder and vanilla extract and blitz again.
5. Transfer the mixture into a lined 8in x 8in dish. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminium foil and place in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up.
6. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top and then cut into 16 small bites.
7. These brownies bites will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
