Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Place the pitted dates in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until they become soft.
Drain the dates and add them to a food processor. Blend until they form a smooth paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the date paste, cocoa powder, almond flour, and baking powder. Stir until well mixed.
Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and melted unsalted butter to the bowl. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips into the brownie batter gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares and serving.
