Baruti and Mina's Raw Brownies

[From Mina]  "We have made the brownies without the icing due to the browning of the avocado (while this is not evident because of the cocoa within the frosting, the taste, if the brownies are left in the fridge for several days, is affected greatly).  

Here are the ingredients and steps that we use.  To be posted to FB with pictures =)"

Ingredients 

1 c raw walnuts

1 c deglet or medjool dates (approximately 20-25 dates)

½ c of unsweetened raw cocoa or Dutch cocoa powder (plus/minus to taste)

½ tsp cinnamon (plus/minus to taste)

3 tbsp of raw agave (plus/minus to taste)

Optional: 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract

Requires food processor and loaf pan

Preparation

Add walnuts to food processor and chop until small and crumbly.  Add dates to walnuts then process until combined well.  The mixture should contain no clumps of either dates or walnuts.  Add remaining ingredients (cocoa powder, cinnamon, and agave) and process until mixture looks like slightly moistened soil.  Spread mixture with spatula or fingertips onto bottom of a loaf pan, then place loaf pan in the refrigerator for approximately 30-45 minutes. 

Cut, serve, and enjoy!

Yields approximately 6-8 servings.

From another website I found a recipe for avocado frosting:

Make the frosting*: 

1/2 avocado

3 to 5 tablespoons raw honey (you can adjust to taste)

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

a hefty dash of cinnamon

a tiny pinch of salt

Combine avocado, honey, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a food processor and blend until smooth. Spread mixture over the brownie layer in the loaf pan, creating an even layer on top.
