Simple Raw Brownies

12:29 PM 0 Comments

I have slowly been becoming obsessed with raw no-bake desserts! And since I especially love chocolate brownies, I knew that I had to make a raw brownie recipe! 
I find these ones reminiscent of Little Debbie's Cosmic Brownies, especially with the sprinkles! Which I used to eat all the time when I was little! 
If anyone knows how to recreate those with a healthy twist but still just as fudgy please let me know ASAP!
These brownies are still better than Cosmic Brownies and maybe even more delicious! They're also vegan, raw, gluten free, paleo, and have no refined sugar!
They contain:

Cocoa powder
Coconut Oil
Almonds
Dates
Maple Syrup
Cinnamon
Salt
Sprinkles (optional)
And they're no bake so you can enjoy them in the hot summer months to come! Let me know if you try them out!

Chocolate Quinoa Candy Bars

1:50 PM 2 Comments


I'm not always one to want to make no-bake treats, simply because I love turning on the oven and seeing what I've mixed up turn into something new. I have to say though that these no-bake candy bars are changing my mind. They are probably my most favorite thing I have created in a while!




These candy bars are packed with all the good things. They have no processed sugar, can be made paleo, are gluten-free, and vegan! and they are so so so good!! I really suggest that you make them stat!



If you wish to make these paleo, you can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter




I find that the peanut butter taste gets more prominent once you let the bars sit overnight so try not to eat them all at once!



Everything in the pan

Chocolate on!
