chocolate-topped bird seed energy cake
A dense, nutrient-packed energy bar often referred to as 'Bird Seed Cake' due to its rich variety of seeds and grains. This no-bake treat combines puffed quinoa, crunchy nuts, and a 'load of seeds' bound with coconut oil, finished with a smooth dark chocolate layer and flaky sea salt. It has an excellent shelf life, lasting up to 6 weeks when stored correctly.
