Chocolate Rawnies Super fast, super easy, super good. Just call them a breakfast energy square and there's no guilt involved. Here's the recipe:
What you need:
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
- 1.75 cups pitted dates
- 1/2 cup raw cacao
- two pinches sea salt
- parchment paper
- food processor
- medium size bowl
- small rectangular glass container with cover (we used one of those glass airtight food storage containers )
What you do:
- place walnuts in food processor and process till finely ground
- add cacao and pinch of salt and blend
- add dates one at a time to the running processor (through the top feeder tube) - the ingredients should look like cake crumbs yet they'll stick together when squeezed (if they don't, add more dates)
- add the mixture to a medium size bowl and fold in the almonds
- transfer to a parchment paper lined glass container
- press and mold the brownie mixture into the glass container
- sprinkle the other pinch of coarse sea salt on top
- place in freezer for about 45 minutes
- remove from freezer and slice into bite size servings
- cover and store in the fridge
Makes about eight to ten bite size rawnies - double the recipe for more
