Raw brownies

Easy peasy raw brownies for my little sweet sweet pea.

I'm not usually much into these "healthy sweets" trends, but these were just too good!

These were such a quick, cheap, easy AND healthy recipe... I couldn't not share.

1 cup (or so) of Medjool dates ($2-3 p/lb)
1/2 cup of Raw Granola ($1-2 p/lb)
2-3 tbsp of Unsweetened PB (I used Adams no stir)
2 tbsp of cocoa

Process. Press into a parchment lined bread pan. Enjoy!

Left over cream cheese frosting...

Means more of a reason to surprise my loves w/ cinnamon rolls :D

I mean, who could let cream cheese frosting go to waste!?

WARNING: Definitely not a healthy treat!

1.) Melt in a saucepan:

 -3/4 c milk -1/2 c (stick butter)

2.) Mix/ Combine:

-2 1/4 c Flour -1/4 c sugar -1/2 tsp salt -1 1/4 packet dry yeast

3.) Add to dry:

- 1/4 c water + Milk/ Butter mixture

4.) Roll on floured board - Kneed until smooth - Cover w/ damp cloth (Let rise 10 min)

5.) Combine 1 stick butter, 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1 c brown sugar

6.) Roll dough into 9x13 in rectangle

- Spread brown sugar mixture onto dough rectangle 

-Roll and pinch shut ( I score the dough with a fork, making x's then add a little water+flour to seal. )

-Cut the roll ( 1/2 inch, if you can) 

-Set in a rectangle/ square pan so all rolls touch, let rise w/ damp cloth for 30 minutes.

**Bake @ 375 degrees F for 20 min!

** Top w/ your own cream cheese frosting. (I obviously used my left over carrot cake frosting)
