Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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

Equipment

  • 1 Food processor

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. In a large food processor with an "S" blade, combine all ingredients and process until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 18-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The center will be slightly soft.
  4. Cool for 30 minutes in pan, then remove with help from the parchment overhang.
  5. Let cool for an additional 30 minutes before slicing.
  6. While your brownies cool, prepare your ganache.
  7. Combine 1 cup chocolate chips of choice with 3 TBSP of heavy cream and microwave for 45 seconds. Whisk until smooth. L
  8. Let ganache cool for 5 minutes, whisk again, and then add on top of brownies.
  9. 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.
