Dark Chocolate, Mexican Spiced Brownie Bites
{Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Keto & Paleo Friendly}
Makes approx 20 {bite size} all natural, quick and easy, subtly sweet, decadent, rich, deliciously indulgent, seriously chocolatey, healthy, wholesome, dark chocolate truffles with a cheeky kick of heat!

Ingredients –

1/2 cup raw almonds

1/2 cup raw cashews

3/4 cup medjool dates* – Keto/ low carb lovin’ friends and those of you who have trouble digesting dates –  soak/ferment your dates in coconut water keifr or kombucha overnight and you should be ready to roll

1 Tablespoon of cacao

1/2 teaspoon of instant espresso (optional – please note you can’t actually taste the espresso I find it just really helps to enhance and intensify the flavor of the chocolate/cacao)

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 teaspoon of filtered water

A pinch of ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

A pinch of cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)

Optional add ins;

1 teaspoon of maca powder – For hormone balance

2 Tablespoons of hemp seeds – for extra protein + vitamins & minerals

1-2 scoops of Vital proteins unflavored collagen peptides – for an extra boost of protein and gut healing goodness

1 scp protein powder – for extra protein (vanilla or unflavored would work best in this recipe) – I use Proganics Vanilla whey – you can use EMS10 to get 10% off

Optional for serving –

Cacao

Finely shredded coconut flakes

Hemp seeds

Method –

1 – Optional but highly (HIGHLY) recommended – Place your nuts on to a lined baking tray and roast at 175’C/350’F for 5-10 mins until lightly toasted, gloriously golden and deliciously fragrant.

2 – Once toasted, place your nuts into your food processor/blender and pulse until crumbly, you want there to still be a few bigger chunks to give the bites some nice texture.

3 – Add dates and process until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky, loose “dough”.

4 – Add vanilla, cacao, espresso, salt , cayenne, hemp seeds, maca and collagen (if using) then process again until combined.

5 – Using your hands, roll approx 1 small Tablespoons worth of dough into bite size balls then set aside
 – FYI – I like to make my bites on the smaller side. You would probably need 3 of mine to make up one of those golf ball size bites you buy at cafe’s or in stores.

6 – If you are going to coat your bliss bites in cacao, coconut or extra hemp seeds simply place your cacao, coconut and/or hemp seeds into a small bowl or zip lock bag and gentle press/shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Enjoy xo

• If you find your dates are a little dry you could try soaking them in some warm water for 10 mins before you begin, then drain and rinse and make as normal.
