Raw Vegan Fudgy Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts (can also use pecans or hazelnuts)
- 1 cup tightly packed seedless medjool dates, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes (roughly 300g)
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 5-6 tbsp cacao powder (or more, to taste)
- 2-3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch salt (to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark choc chips
Preparation
Line your loaf tin with baking paper, then blend your walnuts (or other nuts) to a flour-like texture. Set aside.
Drain your dates, then blitz to a smooth paste.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together ground walnuts and almonds, coconut flour (start with 2 tbsp), cacao, maple syrup, vanilla and salt.
Stir in the date paste until well combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. Press the mixture firmly into the lined tin – if the mix is too sticky, add a touch more coconut flour, until it feels slightly firmer. Place in the fridge to firm up for a few hours.
