And I'm back with another healthy recipe! Who likes chocolate? ME!!! Sometimes I really crave it but have no chocolate on hand ... So I just make things like no-bake, flourless brownies! ^_^
***************************
Pitted dates, Walnuts, Cocoa powder, Coconut oil, Vanilla, Salt, Water
Some parts are lighter brown because the oil separated in the topping. It didn't hinder the taste though!
No-Bake, Flourless Brownies
Brownie
2 1/2 c. loosely packed pitted dates
1 1/2 c. walnuts
6 T. cocoa powder
1 1/2 t. vanilla
2 t. water
1/4 t. and a pinch salt
Topping
1/4 c. cocoa powder
1/4 c. organic coconut palm sugar
1 T. honey
2 T. coconut oil (flavorless)
1/2 t. vanilla
Instructions
Blend ingredients for brownie in food processor until smooth. (Don't add any extra water even if it seems dry.)
Press into an 8-inch pan, lightly greased.
Heat the topping ingredients in pot until sugar is mostly dissolved. (Unless you use [1/4 cup] maple syrup instead of sugar&honey, then you don't need to heat it. Just mix it in a bowl). Spread evenly over brownie.
Refrigerate for about 2 hours. Enjoy!

I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it brought me to a blog called Chocolate Covered Katie. She calls the recipe The Ultimate Unbaked Brownies.
I made a few tweaks to the recipe, and they are absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Yummy, dark-chocolate tasting brownies. I'm in love ... <3 My mom too, I think! *grins*
Let me know what you think if you give them a try! ^_^
