Eating organic, raw and gluten-free doesn't mean you can't have treats. Of course you can!! And the great thing about these unprocessed treats... they taste delicious and they're healthy! One of my favourite treats is a raw vegan brownie. This brownie doesn't contain any sugar, milk, butter, flour or eggs. Unlike the brownies you buy in a regular supermarket, these raw brownies are a great source of antioxidants, proteins and essential minerals.
Base ingredients:
1 cup raw walnuts1 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup dates (unpitted)
1 cup 100% raw cacao powder (I use this one: Truly Raw Cacao Powder)
1 tsp of organic coconut oil
1 pinch of sea salt
Place the walnuts and the almonds in your food processor and blend until the nuts are roughly chopped. Add the dates and blend again. Add the cacao powder, the coconut oil and the salt. Blend again to create your brownie 'dough'. Make sure your 'dough' sticks together, if not use some more dates or add just a splash of filtered water (or some Agave nectar if you like your brownies a bit sweeter). For those of you who like the taste of coconut, you can also add some shredded coconut to your dough. Press your 'dough' into a cake form. I like to use a plastic foil in my cake form, this makes it easier to remove the brownie. Place this in your freezer or fridge for about 30 min.
To finish up, decorate your brownie with some delicious fresh berries. I like to use blueberries, raspberries and goji berries but you can also use strawberries, blackberries or even incan berries. Whatever you like.
Enjoy! It's berrylicious! xoxo
