Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams pitted dates
- 180 milliliters boiling water
- 60 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60 grams vanilla protein powder
- 120 grams almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg
- 60 milliliters coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Place the pitted dates in a bowl, pour boiling water over them, and let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Drain the dates and add them to a food processor along with the almond milk. Blend until you get a smooth paste.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then mix in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract.
Add the date paste and wet egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until all components are well incorporated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, slice into 12 portions and serve. Enjoy these high-protein treats any time of the day!
