A no-bake recipe for delicious super food brownies made with a base of dates, mixed nuts, coconut, and cacao, coated with melted dark chocolate and garnished with more nuts and goji berries.
Add 1 cup dates, 1/4 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup pecans, and 1/4 cup of pistachios to the bowl of a food processor. Process until chunky. Next, add in 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 3 tablespoons cocao powder, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Process again until mixture is chunky and slightly clumping. If the mixture is dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water. Then, add in another 1/4 cup pistachios and 1/4 cup goji berries and pulse again a few times until pistachios are slightly chunky. Add the mixture to an 8x4 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper, pressing evenly towards the sides of the pan. Melt 1.5 oz dark chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the bars, tilting the pan so that the chocolate covers the bars evenly. Garnish the bars with 1 tablespoon each of pistachios, goji berries, and crushed pecans. Place bars in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour to harden. Once ready to serve, sprinkle with Maldon sea salt then cut into 8 squares. Store covered in the freezer for up to 1 month. Enjoy!
