Chipotle Cacao Raw Brownies

Quick: You are traveling, you don’t have any of your own kitchen equipment and someone asks you to bring a raw dessert to dinner. What to do? Raw Brownies! I recently posted a brownie recipe but instead of making the same recipe, I found myself thinking, “What else can I do with this raw recipe?”. The thought of adding a little heat and smoke to the chocolate was irresistible. I was so pleased with how these came out, I thought it was worth sharing with you.

 

 

This time around I decided to use walnuts instead of hazelnuts and throw in some ground chipotle powder to get the aforementioned heat and smoke. I rounded it out with cinnamon, an exciting addition of figs that created depth and a chipotle ganache. Gourmet raw brownies, here we come!

 

 

Walnuts are a great source of Omega-3’s, heart healthy monounsaturated fats, anti-oxidants to support your immune system and L-arginine, an essential amino acid which promotes healthy blood pressure.

    Just tried it and it is great!!! Had no figs so I put some more dates, and instead of chipotle, which we don’t have, put some grounded hot chili peppers, about the half of the amount mentioned, because it is very hot. Turned out great! Thank you!!

    Just tried this recipe and didn’t have enough nuts so I tried oats. Worked great!

      Victoria, you could try pecans. You may have to tweak the recipe a bit. Cheers!
