10. Mexican Hot Chocolate Superfood Raw Brownies

By Chelsea Gloeckner

Ingredients

• 1 cup pecans
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 12 dates, pits removed (Tip: if your dates are not sticky, soak them in boiling water for 5-10 minutes)
• ¼ cup cacao powder
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• Toppings: pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, goji berries

Directions

1. Add all ingredients (except toppings) to a food processor.
2. Blend for 1-2 minutes, until a dough forms.  Hint: if you can pinch the dough together between your fingers, the dough is ready.  If the dough does not stick together, add 1 teaspoon warm water and blend for 30 seconds. 
3. Pinch off 2-3 tablespoons of dough at a time, and press dough into each muffin cup in a silicone muffin mold (or into a lined muffin tin).  Repeat with remaining dough.
4. Press toppings onto each brownie.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm. 
5. Store in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
