Raw Carob Brownies
close to 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds
1/4 cup hemp seeds
2 medjool dates(or 3 regular dates), pitted
1 tablespoon of dried currants
2-3 tablespoons carob powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons agave
pinch of salt
In a food processor, process the sunflower seeds and hemps seeds into a rough flour, then add in the dates, and currants. Now add the carob powder, coconut oil, vanilla, agave, and salt process until a sticky dough is formed. you may need to adjust the recipe a bit, as i got lost in the process and may or may not have added a bit more agave or a bit more carob without realizing it :D
Line a small pan with parchment paper, then press the dough into the pan, let set in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. Take out, cut the brownies into whatever shape you want; I took the boring route and made squares, i am now wishing i made triangles or something more interesting! Sprinkle with carob powder and salt.

Raw Easter Citrus Treats
These "mini brownie bites" are wildly versatile. Cut them in larger pieces and eat like an energy bar or simply wrap small squares in paper and put them in the Easter egg. This recipe is nut free and honestly, one of the best dessert combinations I have ever tried.
Makes 25 "mini brownies"
Citrus layer
2 cups shredded coconut (2.8 dl)
3 organic oranges - zest & juice
zest from 2 organic lemon
juice from 1 organic lemon
1. Mix the shredded coconut in a food processor until a bit creamy
2. Add the zest from 3 oranges and 2 lemons
3. Add the juice from 3 oranges and 1 lemon and mix again until incorporated
4. Put plastic film in a pan (mine measured 10 * 3 inches /25 * 8 cm) and spread the citrus layer evenly onto the bottom of it.
5. Put the pan in the freezer and let it sit there while you make the chocolate layer
Chocolate layer
2 cups dried dates, pitted (2.8 dl)
8 tblsp water
7 tbslp Raw Cacao (or regular organic)
1 pinch of Himalayan salt/Celtic sea salt
1,6 oz (45 grams) Cacao butter
1. Roughly chop the dried and pitted dates and put them in a food processor along with the water. Mix until it turns into a thick paste
2. Add the Raw cacao and the salt and blend for approximately 20 seconds more.
3. Melt the Cacao butter gently over hot water and add it to the food processor once it is in liquid form. Mix for another 20 seconds.
4. Spread the chocolate layer on top of the Citrus layer and sprinkle some whole hemp seeds and cacao powder if you like.
5. After 30 minutes in the freezer you can cut it into smaller pieces and store in the fridge (or eat right away).
