Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Pitted dates
- 200 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 100 grams Coconut oil
- 150 grams Coconut sugar
- 60 grams Cocoa powder
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, soak the pitted dates in the unsweetened almond milk for about 10 minutes to soften them.
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave, then set aside to cool slightly.
Transfer the soaked dates and almond milk to a blender or food processor and blend until you have a smooth paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the date paste with the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet date mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut the brownies into 9 equal squares and enjoy your dairy-free treat!
