Raw Chocolate Brownies for PCOS

Ingredients:

• ½ cup walnuts
• ½ cup almonds
• 6 tbsp (30 g) raw cacao powder
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup (225 g) soft dates, seeds removed
• 3 tbsp walnuts, chopped for garnish

Method:

1. In a food processor, add your nuts, cacao powder, chia seeds and salt and process till grainy.
2. Add the dates and continue to blend until the mixture comes together in a ball. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a date or two more and if its too sticky, blitz up a couple more nuts and add it to the date-nut mixture, until you are able to touch the dough without it sticking to your fingers.
3. Line a brownie tin with parchment paper and press the mixture into it (1/2 inch thickness).
4. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours and then cut and serve.

A sweet treat for your sweet tooth without affecting your insulin levels and also adding the goodness of nuts and dates to your body while satisfying your sweet cravings
