Sweet and sticky choc chip brownie. Mint or Orange?

Feel like something sweet?

If I’ve been running a lot or my person trainer has been particularly hard on me then I top up with a little something sweet and sticky. Here’s a Raw Recipe that is pretty easy and totally yummy.

Recipe:

1 cup of almonds preferably soaked and dried

1/2 cup cashews soaked

5 Tbsp Cacao

3 Tbsp Agave/honey or 5 soaked dates

pinch of salt

1 Tbsp orange zest or 1 Tbsp mint leaves finely chopped

3 Tbsp cacao nibs for choc chips

Blend first 5 ingredients in a food processor until they form a dough. You will need to use a spatula a lot to scrape the sides down.

Place in a bowl and mix in the choc chips.

Press into a tray and leave it in the fridge to set or dehydrate for an hour or so.

If you wanted to you could add walnuts at the dough stage either with or without the cacao nibs. And what about a choc cashew frosting?

Very yummy Rawwwwww
