Brawnie - the raw brownie with dates

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups pitted dates (1 + 1.5)
• 3 cups pecans (or almonds, cashews, walnuts)
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup almond meal
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla

Frosting:

• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla

Materials

• bowl, blender, knife, mold, parchment paper

Preparation

• Soak 1 cup of dates in hot water for at least 1 hour. Then chop these dates in a food processor. Also chop the pecans.
• Chop 1.5 cups of dates: we chose to chop them with a knife to have pieces, but you can blend them for a smoother consistency.
  
• Then mix all the dates, nuts, cocoa powder, almond meal, salt, and vanilla. Start mixing with a spoon and finish with your hands.
• When the mixture is homogeneous, transfer it to a mold lined with parchment paper.
  
• Melt the coconut oil and then mix it with cocoa powder, honey, vanilla, and salt.
• Pour this frosting over your brownie and spread it evenly across the surface. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  
• And there you have it, your brownie is ready!
