Raw never tasted so good!
I'm all about indulging into exquisite rich desserts and crunchy french fries from time to time but one of my favorite almost gilt-free desserts are these Mini Raw Brownies. I've had some experience with a Raw Diet and although time consuming, I loved it! Here is the brownie recipe I came up with. Its simple to make, no baking required, and delicious!! Enjoy!
Amy's Raw Brownie Bites
For Brownie Bites:
1.5 Cups of Pecans
1.5 Cups of Almonds
2 Tablespoons of Almond Butter
1/4 Cup of Agave
1/4 Cup of Cocoa Powder
Pinch of Salt
For Frosting:
2 Cups of Walnuts
2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup of Water
1/4 Cup Agave
Instructions
1.) Begin with the frosting by combining all 4 ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth creamy mixture. Spoon into bowl and place in fridge while preparing brownies.
2.) Clean food processor to use for brownie mix.
3.) Combine all brownie ingredients into food processor and combine until all nuts are finely ground and a dough starts to form. If dough looks too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
4.) Scoop out about 1 Tablespoon of Brownie dough. Roll into small ball and place on serving dish. With thumb, gently push down the middle of the ball leaving a slight dip for the frosting. **Do this until all dough is gone.
5.) Remove frosting from fridge. Spoon or pipe frosting onto the tops of brownies and serve!
***Brownies store best in the refrigerator. Allow brownie to get to room temp for best flavor before indulging.
Sweet!
