"Brownie" Smiles

Here's the recipe for the brownie bars I made the other day. All the ingredients I used were organic, which is a much better choice if you can make it with organic ingredients.

Ingredients:

4 cups of walnuts
2 tbsp agave nectar
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp of Himalayan pink sea salt
1/2 cup of Coco nibs
3 tbsp Flax seeds ( i used brown and golden flax; but you can choose whatever you may like)
1/2 cup of shredded coconut (*optional)

Directions:

1) Using a food processor, place the walnuts and pulse till ground. You may want to pulse till you still have whole pieces of walnuts. Remove and set aside till later.

2) Place 2-3 tbsp of walnuts back into the food processor. Add to the agave, coconut oil, vanilla extract and salt. Then pulse till all ingredients combine to form a small ball.

3) Combine the coco nibs and Flax seeds to the processor and mix till all ingredients are mixed. The ingredients might form a ball.

4) Before you put the mixture into the pan, you can add shredded coconut to the bottom, this is optional. Then you can form the mixture into bars. I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup and then put then in muffin pan lined with cupcake liners. I then pressed the mixture with the bottom of the measuring spoon. Then place the pans in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2-3 hrs. Then you can remove them from the pan and keep them refrigerated for best storage.

* I found that the individual servings were still to large, so then I cut them in half and found them to be the perfect size.
