Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pitted Medjool Dates
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut Oil, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Almond Flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (soy-free)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the pitted Medjool dates and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dates are soft and have absorbed most of the water.
Transfer the date mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the dates and pulse until well combined.
Crack the eggs into the food processor and blend until fully incorporated.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the wet mixture from the food processor to the dry ingredients. Mix well until you have a thick, smooth batter.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares.
Serve the brownies plain or top with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
