Do you like Pumpkin? Do you like Brownies?

PUMPKIN CACAO BROWNIES



Looking for a sweet treat? These pumpkin cacao brownies are unbelievably amazing!!!
I am not a huge fan of cacao power, which is what makes up the 
brownie, but the pumpkin frosting mixed with the powder is a perfect combo!

What you will need:
*8x8 pan*
*Vitamix Blender or Food Processor*

For the Brownies:
*2 cups walnuts
*2 cups pitted dates
*1/2 tsp salt (himalayan salt)
*4 Tbsp raw cacao powder
The recipe I found called for 6 Tbsp and I used 5 Tbsp for this batch, it was still a little strong! Maybe start off with 3 and add more if needed.


Pumpkin Cacao Frosting:
*1 can of organic pumpkin
*3 Tbsp raw cacao powder
Start with 2 Tbsp...
*1/4 cup of almond butter
*3-4 Tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup to taste
*1 tsp cinnamon

For the brownies, blend all the recipes together in your food processor or vitamix blender until thick
Put the batter in your 8x8 pan, if the batter is sticky, wet your fingers
with water.



For the frosting, blend all the recipes together in your food processor or vitamix blender until it
becomes a frosting consistency.
Then frost your brownies



You can eat the brownies right after you have frosted them, but I prefer them chilled.
Put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes!

THEN GRUB :) 
But remember moderation!
