  • 1.5 cups whole spelt flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • 100g cacao butter *if you can’t get your hands on cacao butter then some good quality dark chocolate melted with a few tbsp of coconut or olive oil would work as a coating too!

  • 3 tbsp cacao powder 
  • 2 cup shredded coconut 


1. Pre heat oven to 165°C fan forced and line a square tray with baking powder
