Simple Date Brownies
These fudgy date brownies are the perfect naturally sweet treat when you want something healthy and quick.
recipesbynani.comIf you are looking for a snack that hits the spot without refined sugar, these date brownies will become your new favorite. They come together in just a few minutes and have that rich, fudgy texture we all love in a brownie.
My secret for the best results is to make sure your dates are soft. If they feel a bit dry, just soak them in warm water for ten minutes before you start. It makes the blending process much smoother.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 cups pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Place the walnuts into a food processor and pulse them until they are broken down into small, coarse crumbs.
- 2
Add the pitted dates, cocoa powder, and salt to the processor with the nuts.
- 3
Blend everything together until the mixture starts to clump up and stick together like a thick dough.
- 4
Line a small square baking dish with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly into the pan using the back of a spoon.
- 5
Place the dish in the fridge for at least thirty minutes to firm up before cutting into squares.
💡 Tips
Store these brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. If you want a little extra crunch, you can toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before blending them.
