Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the tahini, pitted medjool dates, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the base of the brownie batter.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture in the food processor, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Blend again until all ingredients are well incorporated and a uniform batter forms.
- Prepare Batter in Pan: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out smoothly and evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—when it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the brownies are ready.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set properly. Once cooled, slice into 16 squares and serve as a tasty, wholesome dessert or snack.
Notes
- The use of medjool dates naturally sweetens the brownies without refined sugar.
- Ensure the baking dish is properly lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Storage: Keep brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almond flour with oat flour, though texture may vary.
- These brownies are rich and fudgy—do not overbake to keep moist texture.
