Raw Chocolate Brownie

Have a go at making this one. A super easy treat that gives you that chocolate hit and is still good for you.

(Serves 12-15)

Ingredients:

1 cup pecans or walnuts

1 cup dried dates

2 tbsp. maple syrup or raw honey

3 tbsp. raw cacao powder

2 tbsp. shredded coconut

Berries & edible flowers for garnish  

Method:

Place nuts into the food processor and grind to the consistency of fine breadcrumbs.  Gradually add the dates and once chopped add the cacao powder and process for about a minute.  Lastly add the honey and mix until it forms a dough consistency.

Line a slice tin with cling wrap and sprinkle a little coconut over it.  Spoon in the brownie mixture and press out evenly.  Refrigerate for at least an hour before removing from tray and cutting to your desired size pieces.

Garnish with berries and or edible flowers to serve.

Enjoy ☺ Shaz

When I make these, I find myself using the pecans teamed with maple syrup.  And the walnuts with the honey.  They just seem to work well together.
