Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Ground Flaxseed Meal
- 3 Tablespoons Filtered Water
- 4 ounces, weight High-quality Dark Chocolate, Chopped Into Chunks, Divided
- ½ cups (heaping) Natural Creamy Almond Butter
- ½ cups Pitted Medjool Dates, Soaked In Hot Water For 20-30 Minutes
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a 9×5 baking dish with oil. Set aside.
In a small ramekin, whisk flaxseed meal and water, and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken. This is your flax egg.
Melt 3 ounces of dark chocolate in the microwave in a small microwave-safe bowl. Pour into a high-powered blender with almond butter, soaked and drained dates, and flax egg. Pulse to combine, then blend for a few seconds or until dates are no longer chunky.
Add vanilla extract, coconut flour, sea salt, and baking soda. Pulse again to combine.
Transfer batter t greased baking dish and top with remaining dark chocolate chunks. Bake at 350ºF for 20–22 minutes. You may need to perform the toothpick test in a couple spots throughout the brownies to make sure you aren’t hitting a chunk. When the toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs on it, remove the brownies from the oven and cool them completely (at least 1 hour) before cutting and serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
