- 1 ¼ cups walnuts - (or any nuts you have)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 pinch Himalayan salt

- 2 tbsp almond milk - (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
TOPPING (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
BROWNIE
- To make the brownie, put all the ingredients together in a food processor and pulse until it is well combined and smooth, for approx. 1 minute.
- Line a rectangle loaf pan (24cmx13cm) with parchment paper.
- Transfer the dough to pan and press very firmly until it is well distributed in the pan (using your hands first, then cover the dough with another parchment paper and press with the bottom of a glass to reach a thin layer of 0,5 cm approx.). Set aside.
GANACHE (optional)
- Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the coconut oil, almond milk, raw cacao and maple syrup. Using a whisker, whisk constantly until you reach a smooth texture (liquid).
- Pour evenly the ganache over the brownies (moving the pan to help the distribution of the ganache) and sprinkle any topping you like and a pinch of Himalayan salt.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before cutting into squares to serve.
Notes & Tips
*if the dates are too dry, soak them in hot water for 3-4 minutes. Throw the water and use the soft dates.
