Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Spoon
  • Cutting board
  • 8 inch square pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dates pitted, measured after pitting
  • 1 ½ cups walnuts 1 cup ground, ½ cup finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup cacao powder unsweetened
  • 2 tablespoon peanut butter unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate ganache (optional)

  • ⅓ cup agave syrup or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup cacao powder unsweetened
  • 2 tablespoon refined coconut oil melted

Instructions
 

  • First, put 1 cup walnuts in a food processor or blender and pulse a few times until finely ground. Chop up finely the rest ½ cup. You'll love that satisfying crunch chopped walnuts will add to our fudgy brownies.

  • Next, blend the dates until smooth and creamy. Add 1-2 teaspoon water, if needed. That will depend on the dryness of your dates.

  • After that, line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to the pan and press with your hands until the mixture is evenly distributed in it. Add more walnuts at the top if you like or make a simple chocolate ganache. This step is optional but highly recommended. As for the ganache, just melt coconut oil and stir in agave syrup, cacao powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until you get a sticky chocolate paste. Spread it evenly on the brownie dough. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, to set.

  • Finally, cut your brownies into squares and serve topped with more finely chopped walnuts. I topped mine with candied pomelo peel. It adds such a delicate citrusy flavor that wonderfully blends with our chocolate brownies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerated for up to a week. Also, you can freeze these sugarless brownies in a freezer-friendly container for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • If your dates aren't soft enough to be blended easily, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes, drain, then blend or mash them with a fork.
  • You can substitute the walnuts with any nuts you prefer like: hazelnuts or almonds.
  • Keep your brownies refrigerated to retain their shape and texture. They are best enjoyed straight out of the fridge.
