Yummy, Healthy, Raw Brownies
Tracy, one of the members of Club FYM, posted a recipe for these brownies. Now at first I was very skeptical, thinking there would be no way these could taste good! Boy, was I wrong! They taste just like brownies! I even used dark chocolate unsweetened cocoa and YUM! She also said that you could frost them using almond butter, cacao or cocoa powder with agave and vanilla. I haven’t tried that yet, but I sure plan to!
Ingredients:
1 c. walnuts
1 c. dates
1/4 c. cacao powder or raw carob powder
Place in food processor, and blend until well blended, should still be dry and chunky. (blend about 30 seconds)
Press into a small pan. Frost with frosting if you choose.
Refrigerate until you can insert a knife and it isn’t too sticky.
Cut into pieces. If you would like to you can freeze these or keep them in the refrigerator.
Give them a try and let me know what you think!!

Looks interesting. I’ll definitely have to give them a try.
March 30th, 2008 at 11:46 pmThat looks easy enough to make (as well as rather tasty)! Except I’m not a fan of walnuts. Do you think substituting all-natural peanut butter would work?
In “The Biggest Loser Cookbook” there’s a recipe similar to this, but for peanut butter cookies- it just calls for rolled oats, peanut butter, and dates. And they are delicious:

That recipes from Biggest Loser Desserts sounds pretty tasty, might have to give it a try!
March 31st, 2008 at 8:45 amWhat type of dates are required for this recipe — fresh or dry. I am new to raw so a bit naive…
