Proven comfort food: raw sugarfree brownies with cashew cream

A few weeks a go I had a few friends in need. By accident I made this recipe at the begining of this week and it eventually proofed to be very good comfort food. I brought these friends this chocolate brownie topped with cashewcream to ease the pain and luckily it put a little smile to their faces.

A lot of people are emotional eaters and gain wight while they're sad. This is a healthy alternative for sugar loaded chocolate snacks.

I used a mortar and pestle to make the brownies but a food processor would make it easier. You also need a large flat plate to spread your brownie on.

I made small pieces because it's a heavy snack. About ten persons ate a piece of this delicious recipe.

Ingredients for 10 persons:

Sugarfree brownies:
- a half cup of sesame seed and sunflowerseeds
- a cup of speltflakes (but you can also use other flakes as you please)
- a half cup of walnuts (I really like walnuts in this recipe but you can replace them with other nuts)
- a half cup of pecan nuts (also replaceable)
- 3 tablespoons of cacao
- a quarter cup of ahorn syrup
- a vanillabean
- olive oil

Grind the seeds and flakes together untill they look like flour. Than chop the nuts. I crushed the nuts and seeds together with a mortar and pestle but you can also use a food processor. You can make it as smooth as you like, leave some chunks of nuts for a nice bite. Add the cacao, syrup and some vanilla, blend it together and try out what it tastes like. Add more cacao for more bitterness or add more syrup for some more sweetness but watch out, it should not get too wet. If you like the taste you created, you can put some olive oil on your large plate and spread the browniedough on it, make it as flat as you like and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours. I ate it first with pineapple and cashew cream and later with frozen berries. Both combinations are very good.

The recipe for the cashew cream will be up next! So if you have a friend in need who could use a little comfort, think of this recipe. It will make them feel good without having to eat unhealthy food. ENJOY :)
