Samoa Brownie Treats, Guilt Free,Gluten Free,No bake


 I saw a raw brownie video and wondered could those be good. Vegan brownies Yay or Nay?Well there is only one way to find out.So I experimented with making "raw brownies" and came up with Samoa brownie treats,raw  sounds scary doesn't it? Well think of it as no bake that might make you fell a little more comfortable. I had almost all the ingredients except for dates.So I zoomed off to Whole Foods bought me a $5 container of dates and returned to the kitchen. In placed this items/ingredients in front of me and got to work.

Food Processor
bowl
spatula
parchment paper/pan

Ingredients
  • 1 cup of dates or more
  • 1 cup shredded coconut/or coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup cacao (more or less)
  • 1/4 cup of honey/maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract (pure vanilla extract/ no alcohol added)
  • dash of cinnamon
  • To make them more fun you could:
    • substitute shredded coconut with ground pecans or almonds
    • add ground coffee beans
    • chocolate covered sun-flowered seeds
    • So from there it;s simply throw everything into the food processor and blend good.
    • If you want a raw caramel sauce check out this recipe

Take it out and press it into a small pan on parchment paper until it's even and solid. Pop them into the refrigerator  for a couple of hours or eat them right away and presto!


This how they turned out.They were very rich,different but delicious. So if you're wondering should I try this? You should! Make it your own and have fun with it!
