Day 256: Raw Brownies

Is it me or when the weather gets chilly does everyone want to bake?? I do! I do!

Here is an awesome recipe I got today from one of my favorite blogs, Glitter Guide.  Now you know what I'll be doing this weekend, get your aprons out!

The Raw Brownie Recipe (courtesy of My New Roots)
 
Ingredients:
 
2 cups whole walnuts
2 1/2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup raw cacao
1 cup raw unsalted almonds, roughly chopped
1/2 tsp. sea salt

Directions:
 
1. Place walnuts in food processor and blend on high until the nuts are finely ground.
2. Add the cacao and salt. Pulse to combine.
3. Add the dates one at a time through the feed tube of the food processor while it is running. You should end up with is a mix that appears rather like cake crumbs, but that when pressed, will easily stick together (if the mixture does not hold together well, add more dates).
4. In a large bowl, combine the walnut-cacao mix with the chopped almonds (I used my hands). 

Press into a lined cake pan. Place in fridge until ready to serve. Store in an airtight container.





HAPPY GREEN!!!
