Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup raw cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother texture)
Instructions
Prepare a square baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) by lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a food processor, pulse the raw walnuts until they are finely ground, but be careful not to over-process into a paste.
Add the raw cacao powder and a pinch of sea salt to the ground walnuts. Pulse a few times to combine.
Add the pitted Medjool dates to the food processor a few at a time and blend until the mixture begins to stick together. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Add the vanilla extract and coconut oil (if using) and pulse again until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use your hands or a spatula to press it down evenly and firmly.
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the brownies.
Once firm, remove the parchment paper from the baking dish and cut the brownie block into 8 equal squares or your preferred serving size.
Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for longer storage. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
