No Guilt Brownies

Ingredients

• 2 cups walnuts
• 2 cups pitted dates
• 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
• 1/4 cup carob powder (if you don�t have this, you could put another 1/4 cacao powder)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 cup almonds, chopped
• 1 TBSP maple syrup
• 1 TBSP coconut oil
• sprinkling of salt

Directions

1. In food processor, pulse almonds until chopped, but not fully ground (these give the brownies some texture). Then, remove from food processor.
2. Pulse walnuts until nicely ground.
3. Add the coconut flakes, salt, cacao/carob powders and continue to mix.
4. Add the dates (not all at once) while the food processor is on (I dropped through the top opening one at a time)
5. Add in the maple syrup and coconut oil
6. Add back in almonds and pulse just enough to mix
7. Place in 8x8 baking tin (lined with parchment paper or coconut oil) and press down so they won�t fall apart
8. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
