Since I’ll be out all day playing with kettlebells, I thought I’d go ahead and make some Brawnies for everyone at the training. These are adapted from RP’s famous brownies and icing. Now the frosting is AWEsome! If you don’t make anything else, make that!!!

 

RP’s Brownies

1 C. Walnuts

1 C. Soft Dates

1/4 C. Raw Carob Powder 

Splash of Vanilla Extract

Splash of  Nama Shoyu

 

Place in food processor and blend until ingredients form a big ball. Press into whatever shape you want on a plate. Refrigerate until you can insert a knife and it isn’t too sticky. I put it on waxed paper to save cleaning the plate and for easy removal. 

This can be frozen (if it lasts that long). 

Options: form into a ball and roll in coconut; add chunks of walnuts to mixture and/or coconut after blending.

 

Icing

2 Small, Ripe Avocados

1/2 - 3/4 C. Agave Nectar (I used 1/2)

1/4 C. Raw Carob Powder 

2 T. Coconut Oil

1 T. Vanilla Extract

Dash of Sea Salt

Dash of Cinnamon (optional)

Banana or Strawberry Slices for Garnish or, Fresh Berries.

Place everything except garnish in a high-powered blender (I prefer VitaMix) or food processor and blend on high until very smooth. This should be mousse-like.

Keep stored in an air-tight container in the fridge.

This amount will cover two batches of the brownies unless you eat it out of the bowl. Can’t account for that.

 

This is soooo quick and easy as long as you’ve got the ingredients. Even non-rawfers like it. Let me know what you think to do with the frosting. We’re thinking just frosting and strawberries; frosting and nut-based whipped cream; chocolate cream pie… 

Comments welcome.

Enjoy!
