Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Medjool dates (pitted)
• 0.5 cups Hot water
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional, dairy-free and sugar-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the pitted dates in a bowl and pour the hot water over them. Allow them to soak for 10 minutes to soften.

Step 3

Once softened, transfer the dates and soaking water to a blender or food processor. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

In a separate large bowl, combine the date puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Add the eggs to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.

Step 8

If using, gently fold in the dairy-free, sugar-free dark chocolate chips.

Step 9

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 11

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares and serving.

Step 12

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
