Vegan | Gluten-free | Soy-free | Sugar-free

Here’s a quick, easy, and satisfying recipe for Raw Walnut & Oat Brownies that you can even have for breakfast. They come together in about 20 minutes and require simple ingredients probably already have in your kitchen, such as:

• Walnuts
• Rolled Oats
• Dates
• Cacao Powder
• Cacao Nibs
• Salt
• Coconut Oil

These brownies stayed in the back of my mind for a while, after indulging in a similar one while visiting Mexico City a couple of weeks ago. I just knew that I had to figure out the recipe. The best part? These come together super quickly, and they’re one of the few recipes that accommodate most diets: gluten-free, dairy-free & sugar-free.

But don’t let that fool you into thinking that these are boring; these brownies are my most decadent yet, with an added depth of flavor from dates, & coconut oil. The healthiest vegan dessert!

Notes:

• To soften up the dates, place them in hot water for about 30 minutes.
• The number of dates to add will depend on your preference. I personally love my brownies more on the bitter side, so I add 15 dates.
• Feeling creative? Chop these brownies up & add them to your favorite nice-cream!

Ingredients

Brownies:

• 1 1/2 cup of walnuts
• 1 cup of rolled oats
• 3/4 cup cacao powder
• 15-25 Medjool dates, pitted & softened
• Salt (I prefer Himalayan Salt)

Fudge Topping:

• 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
• 1/3 cup (approx.) of maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1/2 cup of cacao powder
• A pinch of salt

Procedure

1. Add 1 cup of walnuts with the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until blended. Then blend in the cacao powder and salt.
2. While the food processor is running, chop up the rest of the walnuts. Place aside.
3. While the motor is running, add one date at a time, and process until everything comes together and is slightly sticky. The number of dates to add will depend on your preference, so taste as you go.
4. Place mixture in a bowl with the half cup of chopped walnuts and combine with your hands.
5. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined dish (I used an 8x8 in baking dish) and press firmly until even. Place the brownies in the freezer while you make the chocolate fudge.
6. For the fudge: To a bowl add coconut oil, cacao powder, maple syrup (to taste) & salt. Whisk together, make sure there are no dry lumps. Pour the mixture over the top of the brownie; top with cacao nibs and extra walnuts.
7. Place them back in the freezer for about 1 hour. Once everything is completely set, cut into squares and place in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
