Yoga Meditation Studio 4221 - Raw Brownie Like Recipe

Ingredients

 

For the brownie layer:
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw walnuts
3/4 cup pitted honey or medjool dates
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt

For the top layer:
1/2 cup coconut butter
1/4 cup raw agave nectar
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
2 tbsp shredded coconut, for garnish

Methods/steps

 

For the brownie layer:
In a food processor, grind the almonds and walnuts to a meal, being careful not to over process or the nuts will become oily.
Add the dates and pulse until the mixture is combined and crumbly.
Add the cacao powder, vanilla extract and sea salt and pulse to combine. The mixture should stick together when pressed between two fingers.
Press the brownie mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan (or small square pan) and set aside.

For the top layer:
In a food processor, process the coconut butter and agave nectar until smooth.
Add the cacao powder and pulse to combine.
Spoon the mixture onto the brownie base and smooth out with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with shredded coconut.
Cover the pan with tin foil and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes until set. Cut into squares and serve, or store in the freezer for up to one month.
