This adaptogen-packed snack helps reduce stress, improve cognitive support, and enhance your mood, making it the healthiest sweet treat you can eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup buckwheat
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup dried sour cherries
  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste
  • 2 UDEA Mood Pills (optional)
  • 6 oz dark chocolate (at least 74% cocoa)
  • Optional toppings: edible flowers, Maldon salt, toasted coconut flakes, more pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Toast the Ingredients
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line separate baking trays with parchment paper. Spread the rolled oats on one tray, the buckwheat on another, the pumpkin seeds on a third, and the shredded coconut on a fourth. Alternatively, you can use one tray and bake one ingredient at a time to simplify cleanup. Bake each separately for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Keep a close eye on the coconut, as it toasts quickly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted rolled oats, buckwheat, pumpkin seeds, toasted coconut, and dried sour cherries.
  3. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture
    In a small saucepan, melt the peanut butter, miso paste, and maple syrup over low heat, stirring until well combined. Remove from the heat and add the powder from the two UDEA Mood Pills (optional). Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
    Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cooled dry ingredients. Stir well to combine. Transfer the mixture to an 8×8-inch baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press it down to ensure it’s packed together.
  5. Melt the Chocolate
    Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the mixture.
  6. Add Toppings and Chill
    Sprinkle the optional toppings—edible flowers, Maldon salt, toasted coconut flakes, and more pumpkin seeds—over the chocolate layer. Place the tray in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  7. Serve
    Once set, cut into bars or squares and enjoy!
