Description
Deliciously rich brownies made with Medjool dates and almond butter, perfect for a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup roasted almond butter
- 5 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
- Remove pits from the Medjool dates if they haven’t been pitted already. Place the dates in a food processor along with the roasted almond butter, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Process the mixture for 1-2 minutes or until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl and continue blending until you achieve a sticky, uniform mixture.
- Add the mini chocolate chips (if using) and pulse briefly just to incorporate them into the mixture.
- Transfer the brownie mixture to your lined baking dish. Press firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon.
- For the optional topping, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil, then pour over the date mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm. Cut into 12 squares.
Notes
- For a richer taste, you can increase the amount of chocolate chips.
- Make sure to allow enough time for the brownies to chill for best texture.
