I love the texture of these. Even my non-raw mom tried a piece and was quite surprised. They aren't very sweet, though...very rich and a little but on the bitter side. I didn't add the extra chopped walnuts in the brownies.

Raw Walnut Brownies
oh my god! These are by far the best raw 'chocolate' recipe that I've eaten thus far. I'll be saving this one for the 'un'cooked book!

did i do something wrong? i used soaked dates, and this turned out really, really damp. like a pudding almost. i didn't even add any water. i might try this again, but without soaking the dates.

I have Jennifer Cornbleet's book and yeah, when I made these brownies they were SUPER greasy...not too appetizing. But, I checked back here and followed the advice of pianissima and added some almond meal to the mix. I also added a little bit of flax meal and psyllium husks to try to bulk it up and absorb the grease more.

Wow....
I'm not a huge far of the Lara Bars because they taste too date-y to me, and I was afraid these brownies would be the same story.
Not at ALL! I had to make a second batch so I'd have some to give to my family.
Great recipe, no matter where it came from.

Ok. I just HAD to write again how good these are! I took them over to the inlaws...who are in their 70's. They LOVED them!

Ok...I just put them in the fridge. I will try to wait 2 hours. I think I'll warm them in the dehydrator and make some coconut mylk on the side. I'm drooling. I made it with 1/2 fresh vanilla bean and 1/2 cup of macademia nuts. Didn't have dried cherries...but did add in those chopped walnuts. Yummo!!!!!!!!!!!!

and they were fresh out of the food processor when I ate them so they were warm.

These were so good that I swore very loudly after eating one.
Then I proceeded to eat 7 more. Now I have to make a new batch for my friends.

I made these tonight and they are good, but came out a little crumbly. I think next time I will use less water. BTW I used carob powder instead of cocoa.
