Brownies - all raw, baby!

1 cup raw walnuts (or other nuts)
1 cup chopped dates
2 tablespoons raw cocoa powder

Stick it all in a food processor and let 'er rip until it's all chopped fine. Then, stick your fingers in there & squish some together. If it doesn't stick together really well, try adding:

a little oil, very slowly... I think we added 1/2 tablespoon for the brownies in the photo - I use coconut oil
or
a banana, bit by bit
or both

Once it'll stick together really nicely, smoosh it into the bottom of a small baking pan. You can also form it into balls (and roll it in cocoa powder) or make a cake out of it on a plate.
Or heck, eat it with a spoon!
