Arctic Food

'mmm wouldn't an arctic flapjack be just the thing right now'

I just couldn't resist a boast here of my food being eaten in the most northerly destination it's likely to get.   600 miles from the North Pole is Svalbard.  My son is currently on an arctic expedition for 3 months.  And, still desperately wanting to be nice Mummy and to have a culinary hand in making sure he is eating properly (even though it is dried rations rehydrated with arctic snow), I made my manly son a super sustaining flapjack with all sorts of goodies in it.  

Arctic Flap Jacks

250gms dates

100gms ground almonds

100gms ground cashew nuts

50gms pumpkin seeds

100gms flax seeds

50gms Cocoa butter

50gms coconut oil

Method

1. Mix in the blender the dates, almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds to a pulp.
2. Melt the coco butter then add the coconut oil
3. Mix together the pulp and melted butter/oil 
4. Press into a baking dish.  Allow to cool, cut up, vac pack and wave goodbye, reminding intrepid son to eat the arctic flapjacks.
