Ooooh!! Wait till you try these... this was an experiment gone very right this afternoon when I was pottering around in the kitchen. I was attempting to make a raw chocolate brownie slice, but ended up making mouth-sized chocolatey balls, which I reckon are even better!My friends know how much I love anything chocolate, and brownies are my absolute go-to treat. However, I wanted to have something not only guilt, dairy, egg and gluten free but a brownie that is actually good for you :).
Ingredients:
2 cups walnuts (I've always loved walnuts in my brownies)
1 cup raw cacao
Pinch of sea salt
2 cups medjool dates
1/4 cup agave syrup
Method:
Process the nuts till coarsely ground.
Add the cacao and salt and blend till combined (at this point I remove this mixture from the blender and transfer to a large mixing bowl).
Add the dates and agave to the blender in batches and process till they form a paste. Add this paste to the dry mix in the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon till combined into a doughy ball. I like to use my hands - I find the mix is blended a lot better this way.
Roll into balls and coat in coconut or cocoa and then... enjoy!
Mmmm sounds yummy. Going to attempt to make these this afternoon and might add some goji berries too! Perfect with a hot chocolate. Kimberlee x
