Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the pitted dates in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until they become soft.
Step 3
Drain the dates and add them to a food processor. Blend until they form a smooth paste.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the date paste, cocoa powder, almond flour, and baking powder. Stir until well mixed.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and melted unsalted butter to the bowl. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
Step 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chips into the brownie batter gently.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares and serving.
