Ingredients
- 3 cups walnuts preferably soaked and dehydrated
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 20 Medjool dates or 40 small regular dates, pitted
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder unsweetened, raw chocolate powder, or carob powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)
- 4 teaspoons water
- ¼ cup dried cherries or figs, chopped (Optional)
Salted Raw Caramel
- ½ cup dates or apricots soaked in water for 1 hour
- ¼ - ½ cup macadamia nuts
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon maca
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Chop ½ cup of the walnuts with a knife and set aside. Place the remaining walnuts and the salt in a food processor fitted with the "S" blade and process until finely ground. Add the dates and process until the mixture begins to stick together. Add the cacao powder and optional vanilla and process until evenly distributed. Add the water, if using, and process briefly.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the reserved chopped walnuts and cherries or figs, if desired, and mix well using your hands. Pack the mixture firmly into a square container.
- Make the raw caramel. Blend all the ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth. Thin with soaking water if desired.
Notes
Stored in a sealed container, Brownies will keep up to one week in the refrigerator or one month in the freezer; the same with Salted Caramel.
