Raw Thin Mint Brownies

Raw Thin Mint Brownies: "Raw Thin-Mint Brownies

1 c walnuts (120g)
1 and 1/3 cups pitted dates (230 grams) (If you want a sweeter result, up the proportion of dates.) (If unsure what dates to use, see fudge baby FAQ post)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3-6 tablespoons cocoa powder, depending on how chocolatey you want the balls to be (I used 5T)
Pure peppermint extract, as desired (Start with less; you can always add more.)
Optional: for even more chocolate flavor, add chocolate chips. Or add cacao nibs.
Optional: tiny dash of salt
Directions:
1. Chop/blend all the ingredients, using a food processor, Magic Bullet, etc. (No need to blend the dates first; I just blend everything all at once.)
2. Form into brownies… that is, if you don’t eat it all first!"

Print This Recipe
(makes 8-16 depending how how small you cut them!)

1 1lb. pitted dates
1 cup almonds
1/2 cup cashews
1 tablespoon lemon zest (zest of 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon oil extract
In a food processor mix pitted dates, almonds, cashews & lemon zest until a thick paste forms. Add in the lemon juice & lemon oil extract and pulse a few times to combine. (If you want a few bigger chunks of nuts in your bars, pulse the nuts first and set some aside. Then incorporate the chunks into the final mixture)

Take the the bar mixture and press into a parchment lined 8- inch brownie pan, cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Cut the bars into smaller rectangles (or any size you prefer). Wrap them up in plastic wrap. Foil is kinda tricky- it sticks to the bar too much. Keep the bars covered, in the fridge for up to a week."
