Raw Brownies

if you haven't already gathered FOOD = happy strawberries and we've recently become a tad obsessed with fellow blogging babe Deliciously Ella she makes the most gorg recipes which keep your insides just as gorg the one that caught our attention first was her signature brownies
now these aren't any ordinary brownies
oh no
they're yummy
they're scrummy
AND they're healthy
and we've already made them four times this week...

you just need to have these four ingredients handy:
dates
pecans
cacao powder
maple syrup

measure out one cup of pecans
and blend them up until they're itsy bitsy teeny weeny
(we milled them in our nutribullet, but a food processor would work just as well)

then take two cups of dates
and blend them as you did with yo nutty nuts

mix the two together and what have you got?
A HALF READY BROWNIE

so next take three (very generous) spoonfuls of natural chocolatey goodness

and add to your delish concoction

along with two gloopy spoonfuls of maple syrup

then mix it all up
babbbbyyyyy babbyyyy babbbyyyy oh

spoon your super brownie looking mixture
into some sorta tray/dish/plate/whateva you fancy

then exercise super restraint and place them in the freezer for one hour

after counting down the previous 60 minutes your raw brownies are ready!

we suggest cutting into cute bite-size squares

and taking a second to admire your handy work

but only for a quick second because these badboys won't be around for long x (ps they keep in the fridge for a few days - that is if they're around for that long)
