Cashew Brownie Batter Bites
A decadent chocolate treat, reminiscent of brownie batter. Here’s the kicker: There’s no butter, flour, refined sugar or raw eggs.
- Prep Time: 15
- Total Time: 15
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked in water for at least one hour or overnight, rinsed
- 1/3 cup honey (maple syrup works well, too)
- 1/3 cup carob powder (you can use cocoa powder instead, but remember that it’s stronger so start with 1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/3 cup water (or more as needed to thin the mixture out to blend)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon + 1/8 teaspoon – 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a little kick!
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, blend the cashews, honey, water, vanilla, sea salt and spices until very smooth.
- Next, add the cocoa or carob powder and blend until well-combined
- Add in the coconut oil and blend LAST – this is what’s going to give these a gorgeous texture
- Pour into a bowl (and save yourself some, of course), and place in the fridge or freezer to slightly firm
- Now, the messy part! Roll into balls and then into extra carob or cocoa powder. Garnish with a little cayenne if you’d like. You can either store these in the fridge for a softer texture, or in the freezer to make truffles.
Notes
- Don’t have a high-speed blender? No worries. The food processor or a regular blender will work well, just make sure to soak the cashews longer.
