Ingredients
 

Base ingredients:

  • 1½ cups mixed nuts (190g)
  • 1½ cups soft medjool dates (200g)
  • ½ cup smooth, natural peanut butter or almond butter (120g)
  • 3 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1-2 tbsp water if needed or maple if you want them sweeter

Topping ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 4 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • Handful of nuts/seeds/freeze dried berries to top

Instructions
 

  • Add all the base ingredients (except the water) to a food processor and blend until soft and smooth. This might take a few minutes. If it doesn’t come together then add 1 tbsp of water (only add the other one if it doesn’t come together - it will depend on how soft your dates are and which nut butter you use).
  • Press down into lined mini brownie tin (or a muffin tin) and refrigerate whilst you make the topping.
  • Mix the three topping ingredients together and spoon over the top. Sprinkle over a handful of nuts/seeds and put back into the fridge for at least an hour.

Notes

  • The grams measurements and nutritional values are based on the nuts I used. This may vary depending on which nuts you choose to use.
  • These really need soft medjool dates. If your dates are hard, try soaking in boiling water for 20 mins then draining fully.
  • You can use any nuts for this recipe. I used a mixture of hazelnuts, almonds, cashews and walnuts. 
  • They will last for about a week in the fridge. They can be frozen too. 
  • The topping can also be swapped for melted dark chocolate, if you prefer.
  • I use a very runny nut butter to make these. If your nut butter is a little harder you may need to add some water as you blend.
