For the Brownies
  • 1 cup Medjool Dates Feel free to substitute with other dried fruits if needed.

  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil Melted butter or neutral oil can be used if needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, blend the Medjool dates and coconut oil until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Pour the date and coconut oil mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
