INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup raw cashews
9 dates, pitted
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 ripe banana
1/4 cup applesauce
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
DIRECTIONS
Put the oats, cashews, dates, cocoa powder and salt inside a food processor, then blend it all together until it is smooth and floury. After that, you add banana and applesauce and continue to blend until it becomes a thick, sticky dough. Spray a 7×11 pan lightly with coconut oil or cooking oil. Put the mixture into the pan firmly using the back of a spatula. Top with the walnuts, pushing them firmly into the dough. Next step is to place the pan in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up. Cut into equal sized squares of choice, and store the extra brownies in the fridge.
Note: you can always add a scoop of ice cream for extra yum!
