Raw Brownies w/ Icing

This is the BEST brownie recipe ever!!

Ingredients:
2 full cups of walnuts
2 tsp. of raw blue agave nectar
2 cups of dates!
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup of cocoa powder

Put all ingredients into a food processor and grind them until they resemble potting soil, then pat them into an 8 X 8 inch pan.

Frosting:
2 avocados- (yes avocado!)
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup raw blue agave nectar
dash of cinnamon
1/4 cup of cocoa powder
dash of salt

Use a food processor or blender to mix up the frosting ingredients, and spread it on the brownies. Let it chill in the refrigerator for an hour, cut, and serve. You'll find it hard to believe that avocado forms the base of this frosting! The texture is wonderful, but remember that the shelf life is shorter. They don't usually last long enough for this to be a problem, though! This recipe will make about 8-10 nice-sized brownies.

Serve with an ice cold glass of raw milk, a hot mug of your favorite tea, or a scoop of raw ice cream.
