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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jessica, If the dates aren't fresh, soak them for at least an hour and drain the water. They will blend easier with the nuts.
My version of this includes coconut (fresh or dried) and/or coconut water depending on how dry the content is. I may try adding spices during the holiday season. And sometimes I dehydrate for a few hours if it's too moist.
