Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole walnuts
- 2 1/2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup raw cacao
- 1 cup raw unsalted almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- Chia seeds (optional)
- Hemp hearts (optional)
Directions:
1.Place walnuts in food processor and blend on high until nuts are finely ground.
2. Add the cacao and salt; pulse to combine.
3. Add the dates one at a time through the feed tube of the food processor while it is running. You should end up with a mix that appears rather like cake crumbs but that when pressed will easily stick together (if the mixture does not hold together well, add more dates).
4. In a large bowl (or the pan you plan on putting the brownies in) combine the walnut- cacao mix with the chopped almonds. Press into a lined cake pan or mold. Place in freezer until ready to serve (also makes it easier to chop when they are very cold). Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
