Recipe for Quick Omega-3 Raw Brownies (Gluten-free; Soy-free; Dairy-free)

The following recipe for "Quick Raw Omega-3 Brownies" is a favourite in our house.  It is high in Omega-3 and other nutrients, and does NOT contain gluten or soy.  A food processor is a must although I guess it might be possible to do this with many goes in a blender (let me know if you accomplish this).

INGREDIENTS:
2 C. shelled Walnuts
12 (or more) Medjool or other soft dates (pitted)
1/2 C. unsweetened Coconut shreds (or more)
3/4 C. (or more) Raw Carob Powder
1 T melted Virgin Coconut Oil (melts over hot water)
1 T. organic Vanilla (no alcohol)

METHOD:

• Pulse the walnuts in the food processor until very fine.
• Add the other ingredients and pulse together until a homogenous mass forms
• Press mass into a small pan and refrigerate until completely firm
• Not sticky enough to hang together?  Add more dates.  And/Or a little maple syrup.
