“Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.”
~ Hippocrates
I tweaked a chocolate cake recipe to create these delicious raw vegan brownies I’ve been eating every morning for breakfast! I can’t tell them apart from regular baked brownies, although it’s been a while since I’ve had one of those. 
Raw Vegan Brownies
1.5 cups organic walnuts
dash of sea salt
8 pitted organic medjool dates
1/3 cup raw cacao powder
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
2 tsp of water
In a food processor, grind the walnuts and salt until fine. Add the dates until dough forms, then continue to add the cacao, vanilla, and water. Scoop out a tablespoon full of dough and roll into a ball, then pat down into a circular mini-brownie shape.
You can eat the brownies exactly like this or add the following cashew frosting on top.
Cashew Frosting
1.5 cups organic cashews
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons raw honey or agave nectar
.5 cup water
Blend all ingredients in a VitaMix blender until combined. Spoon frosting on top of brownies and sprinkle with ground walnuts.

Whoa! Will definitely make these with my daughter when she gets home from school. Nom Nom!
Made them this morning and OMG!!! Delicious!!!
I only had 3 Medjool dates, so I soaked over-night some Deglet Noor dates and used a combination.
Thank you KB for this awesome recipe!
you’re welcome Jeanine! Glad you liked them! xo
mmmmm! I just made these, but my intuition told me not to add the 2 tsp of water, and the consistency is just right. I would have ended up with brownie soup! Tastes a lot like an oreo….
