Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 medium-sized Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond butter
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
Soak the pitted dates in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them, then drain completely.
In a food processor or blender, blend the soaked dates and mashed banana until smooth and creamy.
Add the almond butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the date-banana mixture, and blend until fully combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, and baking powder.
Pour the wet mixture from the blender into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to firm up for the perfect fudgy texture.
Serve and enjoy your naturally sweetened, sugar-free brownies!
