hi I'm Dana with Whole Health Dana calm and today I'm going to teach you how to make super easy raw brownies in less than five minutes so the first thing that you're going to need is one cup of walnuts and you're just going to put them in your food processor try to look for organic and raw walnuts if you have them available to you in them we're just going to put them on our food processor and write them if up into like a flower it's only going to take about 15 or 20 seconds and it'll look something like that when you are finished okay so next we're going to want to add in dates you're going to need eight to ten fairly decent sized medjool dates and if your dates are hard Michael might often get hard because once I open the package I put them in the refrigerator what you're going to do is you're going to heat up some hot water and you're going to put them in the bowl with your dates I've already done that that's why mine are so soft and you're going to let them sit for about five minutes and that'll make your dates moist and soft again and so you're just going to take out the pit and throw them in your food processor and you're going to do that for all eight to ten make sure you get the pits out after you have all of your dates in and I use ten you need half of a cup of cacao powder this is the one that I usually purchase and I prefer to use kakao / coco just force nutritional value it has some good dietary fiber plus iron and magnesium and then you're going to need just a pinch of salt now to me a pinch of salt means about an eighth of a teaspoon so now once we have all of that in our food processor we're just going to pulse it until it is completely combined and makes a sticky brownie like substance okay so I post that for about 20 times and I guess I should be more clear what I mean when I say that it should be a sticky substance it's not going to be sticky right now like you can see it's crumbly and comes apart there but what you are going to be able to see is when you dip your hand in there and you squeeze it together it will pull together you can form it into a ball okay so once you have the proper consistency you have a couple of options first off you can add some stuff to it you could add some almond slivers if you would like almonds in it you can also add some cacao nibs they are the same cacao that you put in there but they are in a little form that's more like a chocolate chip now and so you can add those in stir them in in them what you're going to do is you you can form them into balls if you want like little brownie bites you could press them into like a silicone mold if you wanted something that was perfectly shaped or in our case today what we're going to do is we are going to press them in to a a tray I just say you're going to pour it on to whatever your surface is and then you're just going to press it flat you can use your hands you can use the backside of a spatula okay so once you have it all Preston it looks something like that and now you can just put it in the refrigerator even the freezer if you wanted to speed it up they're great they're easy they're raw they're gluten-free their paleo they're fabulous so I hope you have enjoyed this episode of whole health data and how to make raw brownies if you would like a printable copy of this recipe visit my website at wwlp.com and if you would like to follow me on social media check out the links that are below I thank you for joining me today and we'll see you next time .
