Figuring coconut oil would give me some of the creaminess of an avocado, I went to work. Embracing the coconut oil even more, I decided to try to replicate an Almond Joy instead of just doing coconut brownies. All I know is Paul better get home quick before the kids and I eat them all!
Raw Almond Joys
Serves 24 minis or 12 largeBase
1 1/2 c almonds
1/2 c oats
2 T coconut oil
1/4 c peanuts (almonds or walnuts work)
1/4 c shredded coconut
2 T agave nectar
1/4 t vanilla
dash of salt
Frosting
6 T coconut oil
5 T agave nectar
5 T cocoa powder
shredded coconut to garnish
In your food processor, mix almonds and oats until they are powdered. Add the remaining base ingredients. Press them into your muffin cups.
Next put the frosting ingredients into the food processor and smooth. Frost the muffin cups and top with a little extra coconut. I let them set at least an hour before serving and keep them refrigerated so the frosting doesn't melt too much.
