ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup walnuts, raw (or a mixture of walnuts and almonds)
- 1⁄2 cup dates, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons carob powder
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
- 1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon agave nectar
directions
- Chop nuts in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Add dates and process again.
- Add the rest of the ingredients in order and process until they are mixed. The mixture should be dark brown and crumbly, but it should hold together when pressed. If it doesn't hold together well enough for you, add 1-2 more dates at the end.
- Press into a small pan or a bowl, or roll into balls.
- Refrigerate to harden, then cut into squares, if desired.
- Keep refrigerated.

Although it's not like grandma's brownies, it does curb the cravings for sweets and what's better than chocolate? I did alter it a bit, I used raw cashews (I had them on hand) and prunes instead of dates (again on hand) oh and instead of carob, I used 5Tbs of cocoa powder (again used what I had available). There is a lot of potential for wonderful additions to this recipe, next time I am going to try adding some cherries cuz we all know they go great with chocolate ;) I did coat the balls (mine were a tad too fudgey to treat as bownies) with coconut but am looking forward to more experimentations in the future. Thank you for giving me some more inspiration in the kitchen!Reply
