Here is a photo tutorial on how to makes these yummy, vegan, semi-raw Java-Choco-Pumpkin Seed Brownies for a healthy dessert or a sweet snack!

These treats are: Vegan, Gluten-Free, Baking-Free, all-Natural, Energy-Giving and delicious!

You will need:

A food processor and small coffee bean grinder

Ingredients:




About 20 pitted dates
5-10 dried apricots
Dash of: cinnamon, nutmeg, dry ginger, and 1-2 small pieces of dry clove
About 1-2 tsp. ground coffee beans (if you have whole coffee beans, use your coffee grinder to grind into a     fine powder.)
About 3-5 tsp. ground raw cacao nibs
Agave nectar
Pumpkin Seeds (Raw)





Grind about 1/2 a cup of pumpkin seeds into a fine powder with your coffee grinder, place on plate and leave on the side. (We will use this powder to roll our brownies in. You can also use walnuts, almonds, shredded coconut, or some more of the cacao/coffee powder if you do not have pumpkin seeds!)
















 Combine dates, apricots, ground cacao and coffee, spices, and about just enough agave nectar to get the ingredients "wet" (about 2-3 tbs.) in food processor. Pulse with "S" blade until your ingredients look something like this:
















Roll mixture into little brownie bites (ball-shaped). I like to use a bit of water on my hands while rolling them because it binds them better and gives the surface a smoother texture :) Plus it makes them nice and sticky for the next step!













Roll the brownie bite in the pumpkin seed powder to fully cover it with pumpkiny yumminess :)










Last Step: Enjoy your delicious, healthy, creations ! (Store in the fridge or freezer in an air-tight container :)





Have fun! In-Joy! Bon-Apetit!
