Health and fertility benefits of The Ultimate Unbaked Brownies Recipe | MyRecipes

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Cacao allows minerals like magnesium into your system, which helps to improve insulin sensitivity, and iron, which can help to improve hemoglobin counts in PCOS sufferers. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups loosely packed pitted dates
1 1/2 cups walnuts
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

Instructions

Combine dates, walnuts, 6 Tbsp. cacao powder, 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 2 tsp. water and salt in a food processor. Process until completely smooth.
Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish, or line dish with parchment or waxed paper. Transfer dough to dish. Press dough very firmly into dish with your hands until dough is evenly distributed.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup cacao powder, remaining 1/2 tsp. vanilla, maple syrup and oil. Stir until mixture forms a paste (this is the frosting). Spread paste evenly over dough in baking dish. Refrigerate brownies for at least 2 hours to set, then cut into squares.
