Ingredients
• Walnuts (unsalted), 1 cup
• Cocoa Powder, ½ cup or 60 grams approx.
• Sea salt, ¼ teaspoon
• Soft dates (pitted), 1 ½ cup (You can use mejdool or kimia dates)
• Almonds (chopped), ¼ cup
• Honey, 1 tablespoon (optional)
Method
In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they're finely ground. Add in the cocoa powder and salt, pulse again to mix these together.
Add the dates one by one and keep processing them in the food processor until you form a dough. Add in the chopped almonds and mix to evenly distribute them.
Taste the dough, if you feel like it needs a little more sweetness, add in the honey. If not, skip it and move to the next step.
Line a brownie tray with foil paper and transfer the dough to it. Flatten it using a spatula and form a smooth flat surface.
Refrigerate for atleast an hour so that they can firm up.
Cut shapes when cold and store in the refrigerator at all times.
