Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1/2 cup raw nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Place the pitted dates, raw nuts, and unsweetened cocoa powder in a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture becomes a sticky, dough-like consistency, with all ingredients well combined.
- Press and Chill: Line a small baking dish or square pan with parchment paper. Press the blended mixture evenly into the pan using your hands or the back of a spoon. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the brownies to firm up. Once chilled, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- You can customize the nuts by using your favorite variety or a mix.
- For added texture, consider folding in mini chocolate chips or shredded coconut after blending.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- To make these vegan and gluten-free, ensure your cocoa powder is pure and all ingredients are certified as such.
