Me!

These are my famous raw brownies. They are not your typical brownies but they are really, really yummy! My non-raw friends tell me these are more like fudge than brownies but they love them all the same. They are rich, fudgy and super good for you. no refined carbs, eggs, or butter here! No need to bake to have a great dessert. This recipe is super fast, super easy, and super healthy. Enjoy.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Pecans
  • Cocoa Powder (100% cocoa)
  • vanilla extract
  • Dates (take the pits out!)
  • Agave Nectar
  • Food processor
  • Brownie Pan
  1. Step 1

    Measure out the following amounts of each ingredient:
    2 cups raw pecans
    2 cups dates (pitted)
    2/3 cup cocoa powder (Get organic, 100% cocoa powder, Green&Black is a good one!)
    2 teaspoons raw agave nectar
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  2. Step 2

    Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until very well combined and has a fudge-like consistency. Try not to over-process however, it may make the brownies a little oily.
