Tasty Brownies!

Today, we’re going to show you haw to make some tasty brownies. Best of all, this recipe takes only a few minutes. Let’s get to it!

First, throw a couple of big handfulls of raisins into your food processor.

 Next, toss in about a cup (or so) of raw walnuts:

 Then add some pecans if you have some. Maybe half a cup or so. (Obviously, precision is not the most important thing here!)

 Now you’ll need to put in some raw agave nectar:

Not too much… Just give it a good solid drizzle, circling the food processor bowl five or six times. The purpose is not so much to add sweetness as it is to help these brownies stick together after processing.

Some other quite optional ingredients are shown below. For this particular batch, I’m using cinnamon, orange oil, and a dash of salt:

 So, give it a healthy dose of cinnamon. Maybe a tablespoon or so.

 I also like to add raw carob. Here’s a snapshot (although I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see into the jar so well). I usually add about 2 tablespoons.

Here’s a shot of the carob powder going in. It’s tough to find raw carob powder, btw. Most stores have roasted, but we special order ours online.

Oops, I showed lemon oil, above, didn’t I?  I meant to show the orange oil. Here it is!

 

Now you want to process it for a few minutes. Add the oil as you’re processing, as that seems to help it mix in better than adding it all at once. We’ve been experimenting with the oils. With something like peppermint, you can definitely taste it with as little as 4 drops. However, we’ve eaten these with as much as 15 drops. (Note:  When we use peppermint, we omit the cinnamon.) Here’s what it looks like after processing:

 Now pour it all into a dish:

 And then use your spatula (or another dish) to smash it all down. 

Then cut into brownie-sized pieces and enjoy!  They’re rich and delicious.  And very good for you!

    Made a tiny batch in the coffee grinder, only had pecans though. Made little balls rolled in coconut. I overdid it a bit on the citrus oil, lol. Def edible though! :D Thanks sweets!

    Chet, thanks so much for stopping by our blog, trying one of the recipes, and leaving a comment!!!

    That was a great idea using the orange rind! I bet that tasted great! Oops, sounds like you added too much agave. In that case, I probably would have added some grated raw coconut to help it get a bit more solid. But, the freezer might have worked!!

    Thanks, again!

    Lots of love to you,

    Wendi
    XOXOXO

    i just made it, and it's very tasty. I put in some rind of an organic orange instead of the orange oil, which i didn't have anyway. my batch had a lot of agave so i put it in the freezer and hope it will solidify so i can cut it into squares. thank you for a clever recipe!
  • Hi, Melissa. I recommend the peppermint oil over the others if you are only going to sample one of the flavors. It's my absolute favorite!

    Jim took the pics and posted the recipe, so I'll be sure to let him know you enjoyed it. Let us know if you make his recipe.

    Lots of love to you,

    Wendi
    XOXOXO
