We're shamrockin' on this California Dates + Matcha brownie recipe! 🍀 🌈 Reshared from @panaceas_pantry

BROWNIE INGREDIENTS:

👉2 cups activated pecans
👉 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
👉 1/4 cup carob powder
👉 2 cups (approx 24) Medjool dates, pitted
👉 1/4 cup roasted almond butter
👉 Pinch of good-quality salt

FROSTING INGREDIENTS:

👉 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked 4 hours in water then drained
👉 1/4 cup coconut yogurt
👉 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
👉 2 tsp matcha powder
👉 1/4 cup rice malt syrup
👉 1/4 cup coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

✅ Add pecans, cacao powder, salt, and digestive powder to a high-speed food processor. Pulse until small crumbs form.
✅ Add dates and almond butter and pulse again until a large sticky ball forms, then add the dough to a lined cake tin (we used a 15cm square one). Press down to form an even brownie base, then place into the freezer to set for 2 hours before making the frosting.
✅ To make the frosting, melt the coconut oil in a saucepan. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes (to around body temperature). 4. Once cooled, add to a high-speed blender with the remaining frosting ingredients. Blend on high until very smooth, then pour onto the brownie base.
✅ Set again in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours.

To serve, remove from freezer and cake tin. Cut into 10 slices.
