Chocolate Brownies!!! #vegan #Kosher #GlutenFree #Delicious

CHOCOLATE BROWNIES!!!

 Anybody out there like chocolate? How about putting something relatively healthy on the dessert table? These do have nuts but no added oil, egg, milk, butter or processed sugar. There is no complicated preparation. I just pureed everything in our blender, baked it for 35 minutes, left it in the fridge over night then cut it into squares. It came out way, way better than I ever expected. They have a deeply satisfying flavor and texture but none of the guilt.

BROWNIE RECIPE

1.5 cups of water
2 cups of raw cashews
1/2 cup of hemp hearts
1 banana
1/4 cup milled flax seeds
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup cacao ($9.34/LBS AT THIS LINK!!)
6 TBS Agave nectar
1 1/4 cups raisins

Preheat your oven to 325. Add everything to your blender (20% off at this link!!) or food processor and puree it thoroughly. If it's getting too thick, add a little water. There's nothing in there that you can't eat raw, so you can add more Agave nectar, cocoa, cacao or raisins until its just the way you want it.
Line a 10 x 10 inch pan with parchment paper. Bake it for 30 to 35 minutes until its firm but you still want it chewy.
Cover it with plastic wrap while it's still warm to make the top look glossy and put it in the fridge over night. Cut away the edges to get rid of (or eat) the drier, outer margin and slice the rest into squares. 

Hint:
You can also get a little adventurous and add some fresh mint or chili pepper for extra flavor.
Enjoy!!!
