Munchie Monday: Dr. Greger's Fudgy Brownies

Dear One loves sweets.  Loves them!  I found a recipe in multiple places online, plus in Dr. Greger's book, for Fudge-y Brownies.  I made it for Father's Day.

Dr. Greger's Brownies

1 cup walnuts
1 1/2 cups pitted dates
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/3 cups chopped pecans


In a food processor place the walnuts and dates and spin until they are finely ground.  Add the almond butter and process until completely combined.  Add the cocoa and blend again until very smooth.

Press into an 8 by 8 pan then press the chopped pecans into the top for decoration.  Refrigerator for an hour then cut up and enjoy.

These are really nice.  I am not a date fan but the cocoa in them makes them taste nice and fudge-y.  Still, I am not eating a lot of them...just breaking off one-inch chunks and let it sort of melt on my tongue.  They are richer than I like, if I am honest.  I do not believe we will have trouble getting rid of them, however!

You will probably recognize that we did not have any pecans so I just chopped more walnuts for the topping.
