Notes: We both liked these. The pepper leaves just a hint of heat on the roof of your mouth.

Ingredients:

2 cups walnuts
2 1/2 cup pitted dates
1 cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp flax seed meal
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp Celtic salt

Ganache

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions:

Line a 8×8 square baking pan with unbleached parchment paper and set aside.

In your food processor add the walnuts, chili powder and cinnamon and pulse until fine. Add the cocoa powder and pulse for 10 seconds. Add the pitted dates in 2-3 batches and process. Press the mixture into the pan.

In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients and pour it over the brownie mixture. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes if using. Place the brownies in the fridge until set or in the freezer for about 5 minutes. Cut the brownies into squares and store in a cake stand for up to 4-5 days.
