Raw Brownies

This recipe sounds a lot like the LARA bars I made yesterday with Dates (make sure to pit), Peanut butter, almonds, oats, flax, water and a dash of coconut oil. The bars taste like cookie dough to me. And it is amazing how sweet the dates/ figs -- make it taste. I bet if I added cocoa like in this recipe, it really would make a great chewy brownie. I prefer think of it as an energy bar -- as to not be grossing disappointed as any normal person would be when eating something called "A brownie."
