Raw Chocolate Brownies (Guilt Free!)

More and more people in today's world are realising the damaging effects of certain foods to their health. This could range from gluten to wheat to dairy to white sugar to meat or to anything else for that matter. Whether you are cutting out meat, wheat, dairy or all animal foods I have a delicious recipe that is free of all of the above! Just because we may eliminate certain foods for our own personal reasons, it does not mean that we deprive ourselves of life's pleasure. Instead, it means that you embrace life and continue to enjoy your sweet treats, in this case brownies. You will find that making changes to your diet is not a life of deprivation where you live off lettuce leaves and water. It means that you live a little more consciously to research alternative ingredients that are beneficial to your health instead of using those that are detrimental.

So today I have a recipe for Raw Chocolate Brownies

You will need....
1 cup of walnuts
1 cup of pitted dates
2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
5 tablespoons of organic cacoa powder
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of agave nectar





Method

1. Begin by blitzing your walnuts in a food processor until it resembles a crumb mixture.
 2. Add your dates and continue to blitz.
 3. Transfer this mixture to a mixing bowl where you add the remainder of your ingredients.

 4. Mix with a spoon to combine.
5. Press the mixture into your desired dish...not too big
6. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum.
Enjoy!
Ps. next time I will try a chocolate avocado frosting to go on top...stay tuned!
