Healthy No Bake Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Medjool dates about 12*
- 1/4 cup almonds unsalted
- 1 cup walnuts unsalted
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Remove the pits from the dates. Chop the almonds.
- Place the walnuts in the bowl of a food processor. Run on high until the nuts are finely ground.
- Add the cocoa powder and kosher salt. Pulse to combine.
- Turn on the food processor. As the processor is running, add the dates one at a time. Once all the dates have been added, the mixture should be crumbly but easily formable (it may form into a ball depending on how long you process it). Throw in the almonds and pulse a couple of times to combine (if a ball has formed, you can also mix in the almonds in a bowl).
- Form the brownies: Line a small square dish with wax paper and press into the desired thickness (don’t worry if it does not fill the entire pan; the brownies are easy to shape). Alternatively, press the brownies into a mini-muffin tin. Place in the refrigerator or freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up; they can easily be cut when cold.
- Dust with cinnamon and serve
