Fudgy Vegan Date Brownies
These Fudgy Vegan Date Brownies are a decadent and chocolatey dessert! They're naturally sweetened with dates and are gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup dates pitted
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup, (optional)
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips, (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- Soak dates in a bowl of hot water for 2-5 minutes, until the dates are pretty soft. Then, drain the water.
- Add all of the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips if using, to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and pulse them a few times to mix them in. Alternatively, you can hand mix them in.
- Pour the brownie batter into the baking dish and spread evenly. Top with chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean.
- Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before cutting and then serve.
