Toasted Walnut Brownie Bites

Serves: 30

Source: Naturally Nourished, Sarah Britton

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups raw walnuts
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 cups of soft dates, preferably Medjool

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until they are lightly coloured and fragrant, 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
2. In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they are finely ground. Add the cocoa and salt and pulse to combine.
3. Pit the dates and add them to the running food processor, one at a time through the feed tube of the food processor. You should end up with a mixture that resembles cake crumbs, but when pressed will easily stick together. If the mixture does not hold together, add a few more dates.
4. Roll the mixture into balls. Leftover balls will keep in the freezer up to a month.
