COFFEE NUT BROWNIES

I need to admit something. Yesterday, I ate vanilla & chocolate cheesecake. By the way, I prefer vanilla one. I did not feel well after eating it so that was my first and the last time when I ate something sweet not made by me or made from ingredients which I do not tolerate anymore.

That situation made me very motivated to think again what I am putting into my body.

I made something I am flabbergasted about! I think you should be too!

HOMEMADE RAW ALMOND BUTTER with CINNAMON

Every some time I am surprised that you can make so many things in your own kitchen. Fancy raw almond butter today? Here you go :)

RAW ALMOND BUTTER with CINNAMON

// Original recipe you can find here //

INGREDIENTS:

• raw almonds
• 1 TBS cinnamon
• pinch of sea salt
• stevia

METHOD:

Use S-shape blade in your food processor. Process almonds for about 10 minutes. The mixture will have coarse consistency. Add salt, cinnamon and stevia and process for about 20 mins. When you see much mixture sticked to the sides of your processor, turn it off and scrape the butter into the bowl. Turn it on again and continue. When the butter released oil, then it is ready. Transfer to jar or container.

* Original recipe says that it take much less time to make such butter than mine. It is because my food processor is not very powerful.

SUPER NUT BITES

I had some ground almonds left after making almond milk so decision has been made. Today it is time for a treat. It is so easy to make and it tastes amazing. I do not have to even mention how healthy it is. The best thing about these super-mini-nut-balls is that there is no need to use the same ingredients every time you make them. There are many recipes, but you can use your imagination and ingredients you like the most. Dates and nut butter make the mixture sticky, so that is the base of the recipe. 

And that is how I made mine :)

SUPER NUT BITES / Makes about 14


INGREDIENTS:

• 4 TBS ground almonds
• 2 TBS raw almond butter
• 16 − 20 finely chopped dates (you can use food processor)
• 16 finely chopped pecans (again you can use food processor)
• 1 tsp raw cacao powder
• cinnamon (I love cinnamon so I use a lot)
• pinch of sea salt

METHOD:

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well using your hand. The mixture should be sticky so then you tear some of it and shape small balls. Try to be gentle and do not press too hard when making shape. They will become more solid after placing them in the fridge for minimum one hour. 

* I sprinkled mine with more cinnamon.
