Raw Cacao Superfood Brownies

Recipe by: The Naked Food Chefs

Yield: 9–12 brownies

Ingredients (organic, non-GMO)

Brownie Base

• 2 cups Medjool dates, pitted

• 1 cup raw walnuts

• 1 cup raw almonds

• ½ cup raw cacao powder

• 1 tsp vanilla extract or powder

• Pinch sea-salt substitute (optional)

• 1–2 tbsp water if needed

Superfood Mix-Ins

(optional but divine)

• 2 tbsp hemp seeds

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 2 tbsp cacao nibs

Topping

• ¼ cup crushed pistachios or cacao nibs

• Optional: freeze-dried berries for color

Method

1. Add almonds and walnuts to a food processor and pulse until finely ground.

2. Add dates, cacao, vanilla, and optional salt.
   Process until a sticky dough forms.
   If dry, add water 1 tsp at a time until it binds.

3. Pulse in hemp, chia, and cacao nibs without over-mixing (texture is key).

4. Press mixture firmly into a small parchment-lined dish or brownie pan.

5. Sprinkle with pistachios/cacao nibs and press lightly to adhere.

6. Chill 1–2 hours to set.

7. Cut into squares and serve chilled for the fudgiest texture.

Chef Notes

• Swap nuts with sunflower + pumpkin seeds for a nut-free version.

• Add orange zest or a splash of espresso for a gourmet twist.

• Freeze extras — they keep beautifully and taste like brownie fudge bites.

• If dates are dry, soak 10 minutes in warm water and drain before using.

• Top with crushed freeze-dried raspberries for extra antioxidants + color.
