Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pitted dates
- 1 cup Raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, walnuts, and almonds. Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and begins to come together.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor. Blend until it becomes a sticky dough-like consistency. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips by hand to evenly distribute them through the mixture.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a piece of parchment paper to smooth the top.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top and gently press them into the surface.
Refrigerate the unbaked brownies for at least 1 hour to set.
Once set, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife.
Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
