Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup pitted Medjool dates (about 15 dates)
  • ¾ cup raw pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds depending on the cycle
  • ¾ cup raw flaxseed or sesame seeds depending on the cycle
  • ½ cup cacao or cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • water as needed

Instructions

  • Grind the seeds in a coffee grinder
  • Add the ground seeds (pumpkin seeds and flaxseed for the first phase of your cycle or sesame seeds and sunflower seeds for the second phase of your cycle), pitted Medjool dates, cacao or cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor and process until crumbly and well blended. The texture should be crumbly.
  • Gently press some of the mixture between your fingers. If the mixture falls apart, add some water and blend again until mixed. Start with a tablespoon or two. The amount of water that you add will depend on how plump and juicy the dates are. My dates were a little dry so I needed to add ⅓ cup warm water until the mixture started to ball together.
  • Once the brownie bite mixture is the right consistency, scoop out one and a half tablespoons and roll into a ball. Continue until it's all gone. You should end up with 20-24 bites.
  • Two to three brownie bites are one daily serving of seeds for seed cycling. Store the remaining bites in an airtight container or store in the freezer until the next phase of your cycle.
