Raw/Vegan/GF Brownies

Raw Brownies (makes 8 brownies)

1 1/2C raw walnuts (unsoaked)
dash salt
8 pitted unsoaked dates
1/4C raw carob powder
1t vanilla extract
2T water (for moister brownie - optional)
1/4C chopped walnuts

Process 1 1/2C walnuts & salt in food processor and process until finely ground (do not over process). Add dates and process until mixture sticks together (again do not over process - mixture should not get warm, if it starts to let sit for 15 mins and come back). Add carob and vanilla and process until evenly distributed. Add water, if using and process briefly. Transfer to a bowl and mix chopped walnuts by hand. Form on a plate and chill for 2 hours or more.

For chocolate chip brownies, add 1/4C raw carob chip with chopped walnuts.
