Instructions
For Brownie base
Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl: hazelnut flour, cashew flour, pure cacao powder/carob powder, and baking powder.
In a second bowl, mix the ground chia seeds, water, date paste, and apple cider vinegar. Allow this mixture to rest for 20 minutes.
In the meantime, grease and line a baking pan approximately 8 x 8 inches with parchment paper. Pre-heat the oven to 180º C / 350º F.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix well, then pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake at 180º C / 350º F for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the dish comes out clean with crumbs on the stick.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before spreading the frosting on top.
Frosting
If using the carob, melt the carob in a steel bowl set over hot water. Set aside to cool slightly.
Put all the remaining ingredients for the frosting in a food processor and process until smooth.
Add the melted carob. Process until thoroughly blended.
Medjool Date Paste
Place seeded dates in a high-speed blender eg Vitamix, with 1/2 cup of water, and cider vinegar, and blend until smooth.
