Equipment

  • 1 Food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Raw Almond Butter I made mine myself by processing almond flour, 45 seconds at a time until it became almond butter.
  • 1½ cups Medjool dates, pitted (or about 12 ounces)
  • ½ cup brewed decaf coffee cooled, OR you can use water
  • 1 egg Room temperature, OR 2 tbsp flax meal for vegan
  • ⅔ cup good quality cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips of choice I used sugar-free
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream or coconut milk for vegan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° and line a 6x6 or 8x8" pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang to easily remove brownies from pan. (Note that 6x6" is recommended for a thicker brownie.
  • In a large food processor with an "S" blade, combine all ingredients and process until smooth.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 18-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The center will be slightly soft.
  • Cool for 30 minutes in pan, then remove with help from the parchment overhang.
  • Let cool for an additional 30 minutes before slicing.
  • While your brownies cool, prepare your ganache.
  • Combine 1 cup chocolate chips of choice with 3 TBSP of heavy cream and microwave for 45 seconds. Whisk until smooth. L
  • Let ganache cool for 5 minutes, whisk again, and then add on top of brownies.
  • Add flaky sea salt and serve!

Notes

*If you want crackly tops.. When you take these out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes.. then gently with clean hands press the brownies down and pull slightly to create cracks.
*Dont be concerened about how much they rise in the oven, they flatten tremendously once cooled
*Add your favorite healthy ganache to the top, then a nice flaky salt!
*You must have a food processor to make this recipe, unless you have actual date paste.
