Day 28 - Scrumptious Fudgy Brownies

Last night I had a craving for brownies, so I made some!

Fudgy Brownies
1-1/4 cup pitted medjool dates
1 cup raw walnut pieces
1/2 cup cacao powder
pinch sea salt

Combine dates, walnuts, cacao powder and salt in a food processor and pulse until a dough has formed.

Chop 1/2 cup of walnuts just slightly and mix into dough.

Press into a pan and cut into squares.

Top with Raw Chocolate Sauce

Raw Chocolate Sauce*

INGREDIENTS
4 Tb coconut oil, melted
2 Tb maple syrup
3 Tb raw cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk together all ingredients into a small bowl until completely smooth. The more coconut oil you add, the more thick the syrup will be.

Place into a pouring bottle and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to thicken a little. If the sauce is too cold and thickens up too much, simply place closed bottle into a bowl of hot water until it melts.

Simply rawesome!!
