Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Make sure the dates are pitted and the nuts are roughly chopped for easier blending.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the dates, cocoa powder, and nuts. Blend until the mixture comes together into a sticky, dough-like consistency.
  3. Press Mixture: Transfer the blended mixture into a lined pan. Using your hands or a spatula, press it firmly and evenly to form a brownie slab.
  4. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the brownies to set firmly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for a sweeter, moister brownie base.
  • You can substitute nuts with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin if preferred.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor if desired.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Optionally, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
