I hope you are not getting fed up with all my healthy recipes, but as I find really good ones I really like to get them onto the blog so that I do not lose them. It is very hard clean eating or being sugar free if you can not find great alternatives for all your favourite nibbles and treats. These raw chocolate peanut butter brownies are delicious, rich, dense and so moreish, the perfect treat for when those sugar cravings hit hard and only chocolate will fix it !
The recipe, which I found on the internet, says to make these in a cake tin and serve sliced like a cake, this would work perfectly as a dessert with cream or a good vanilla ice cream and some gorgeous fresh berries. I set mine in a rectangle tray so that I could cut them into fingers so that we could just grab one from the fridge when we fancied a treat.
I think that you could also cut them into fudge size squares and serve as sweets, would be great at the end of a meal with an espresso or given as a gift in pretty little boxes tied with a dainty bow.
This is a very versatile recipe, you can add other nuts of your choice, sprinkle with desiccated coconut and if you grab it at the completely mixed stage from the food processor you could roll into balls,then roll into desiccated coconut, cocoa powder or finely chopped nuts and make them into a very healthy truffle.
Well the sun is shining, no decorating for me thankfully today but I do need to pop out to the shops, we are just loving this house and living here, as my Facebook status says, this house fills my heart with sunshine. It is nice to be settled and finally able to concentrate on my business, blog writing and healthy living again.
Buon appetito
Note : I forgot to say how really simple these are to make, as you will see by the tiny recipe below. Enjoy !
300g of peanut butter
150g of hazelnuts
300g of Medjool dates
2 tbsp of coconut oil
2 tbsp of honey
6 tbsp of raw cacao (the recipe did not state powder or bar form, I opted for bar form)
1 pinch of sea salt
Place all the ingredients into the food processor and blitz until fully combined.
Scrape into a cake tin and place in the freezer for 1 hour then into the fridge until set.
Slice up as desired and enjoy.
It will last for 2 weeks in the fridge.
