This tastes like heaven. I'm really not exaggerating. It is the best tasting brownie you will ever eat, and no one will ever believe it is made using only healthy ingredients. My carnivorous family swear it's better than 'the real thing'. It contains no gluten, dairy, added sugar, or flour. Instead every ingredient is highly nutritious so no need to hold back (I certainly didn't!).
It's also super simple to and quick to make.
Ingredients: <i>(makes 10 small brownies)</i>
Bottom layer:
- 1/2 cup of almonds
- 1/2 cup of pecans
- 1 and 1/2 cups of dates (medjool work best)
- 1 tablespoon of raw cocoa
Top Layer:
- 1/2 cup of dates ( preferably medjool)
- 1/2 banana
- 2 small or 1 and 1/2 large avocado's
- 1 tablespoon of nut butter
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons of raw cacao
- 1 teaspoon of flaxseed
For the bottom layer, simply place all the ingredients in your blender, and blend until the nuts are all broken down and a sticky mixture is formed. This took my magimix blender 2 minutes.
Place the mixture into a smallish deep baking tray, and push down hard with a spatula until there is a flat surface with no gaps.
Next you can start on the top layer. Again, simply place all the ingredients in your blender, and mix it for slightly longer this time. Keep blending until a smooth and creamy texture is formed, and you can no longer see any lumps or bits. My blender took 4 minutes to get to this stage, but every blender is different.
Pour this mixture into the baking tray ontop of the bottom layer. Smooth down, then use a fork to create a nice wavy texture.
Place this in the freezer for at least 3 hours for it to set, then cut into slices and store in the fridge.
I also roughly sprinkled some coconut flakes cococut flakes and almonds for decoration, but they look great anyhow. But to be honest they taste so good just as they are I'm not sure there is any need to decorate them - the flavour says it all!
Enjoy!
