these brownies are rich, chewy, and pack quite the nutritional punch, given that they're full of nuts & hemp. they also contain no refined sugar, but don't be fooled - they still taste ultra sinful! oh, and they're raw too :)
raw brownies
makes 12-16 brownies
1 cup dates
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup cashews
2 tbsp hemp hearts
4 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp agave
start by giving the dates a rough chop and ensure that there are no little bits of pit remaining. next, place all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with an s-blade and blend until all ingredients are combined and have formed a ball. this will likely take 4-5 minutes. line a small pan or banana bread tin with parchment paper and press the dough into the pan. chill in the freezer for and hour before cutting. store your brownies in the the fridge. makes 12-16 brownies depending on how you cut them. these are so good!
i think the sun might actually join us for the weekend up in northern ontario - can't wait!

ReplyDeletethanks heather! you'll have to let me know how you like them :)
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing and sound like a really good snack!
ReplyDeletethank you mihl!
ReplyDeleteHey, do you think I could replace hemp hearts with anything? I can't find hemp products anywhere! I've been looking for the past few years, too, and just come to conclusion they aren't very available in Australia.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make these because they look so delicious!
thanks hannah! you might try raw sesame seeds - they'd add a similar texture. alternatively though, just add another couple tablespoons of either walnuts or cashews. that should do the trick!
ReplyDeleteis it okay to omit the hem hearts?
ReplyDeleteabsolutely caroline - just add another 2 tablespoons of either cashews or walnuts.
