This recipe is not mine. I got it from a raw food forum. But it's really
tasty and amazingly, I had a small piece of it following a dinner that
included baked beans and it didn't spike me. Keep in mind that this will
not be a raw recipe if you do not ensure that your ingredients are in fact
raw to start with. But if you're not a raw foodist, this wouldn't matter.
Also note that the Springform pan used by the person who created this recipe
must have been very tiny. I doubled the recipe and used the smallest
Springform pan I could find. They seemed to be the right thickness with my
pan and double recipe. If you do not have a Springform pan, you can line a
regular pan with foil, then lift the foil out to cut them.
Ingredients:
1 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup cocoa or carob
Process all ingredients in food processor until dry and crumbly. The person
who made this recipe said it takes about 30 seconds but it took me closer to
two minutes. You may need to add a teensy bit of water to your mix if it
doesn't seem to hold together. Some dates are more moist than others.
Press into small Springform pan. I oiled mine with a tiny bit of coconut
oil, but the person who made this recipe didn't say to do this. Just seemed
like it would stick if you didn't.
Refrigerate until firm. Cut into pieces and serve. Store any leftover
pieces in the freezer.
We had no leftover pieces. Everybody loved this stuff! Even the nut haters
in the family. I can't believe how amazingly simple it is to make. And it
really does taste like those chewy, fudgy brownies that are baked with a lot
of ingredients!
