HEALTHY SANTA HAT BROWNIES
100g/ 1 cup Almonds, 100g/ 0.85 cups Cocoa powder (unsweetened),20 (150g) pitted dates, chopped,1/4tbsp honey,7 tbsp water (maybe more if it is too dry),1 tsp ground ginger or juice from an orange (which ever flavour you want to add)
12 small Strawberries (the top sliced off)
13 tsp Greek yoghurt (I used full fat, but you could use 0%)
1) First, blend the almonds until fine.
2) Add the dates and cocoa power and blend until smooth.
3) Tip into a bowl and stir in the ginger (if using), honey and water and mix well.
4) Here comes the VERY messy part, as this stuff will stick to your hands like glue. Divide the mixture in to 12 balls and then form sausage shapes. At the tip of each “sausage”, put a hand at each and squash them down so you have a flat top and bottom circle. If that makes sense. Like they are in the photo.
5) Top each one with a tsp of Greek yoghurt and add the “Santa hat” (strawberry) and top that with a tiny dot of Greek yoghurt.
