These bite-sized no-bake brownies are rich in nutrients with no added sugars. The only sweetener is dates, which in my life, means that they are great for breakfast, snacks or dessert. And a bonus, I found when I ate them directly from the freezer they were somehow twice as good!
Coconut-Nut 'Brownies'
1/2 cup raw natural almonds
1/2 cup unsalted cashews
3/4- 1 cup pitted, chopped dates
1 cup raw, unsweetened shredded coconut
3 tbsp coco powder
1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
In a food processor, add the almonds and cashews and blend until finely ground. Add the dates and coconut and pulse until mixed in. Then add the remaining ingredients and blend until crumbly but not too oily. Shape by hand into balls, or press firmly into a square dish, pushing to one side (fills about half a square cake pan). Leave to set in the fridge for about half an hour. The longer they rest, the more the coconut flavour comes out.
This snack is vegan and gluten-free.
