Absolutely Authentic No Sugar-added, Gluten-free Brownies
(Serves 16)
1 cup blanched almond flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 ounces good-quality dark chocolate (72 - 86% cacao)
7 - 9 Medjool dates, pits removed
3 large eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for more authenticity, see this link on how to convert vanilla beans into extract)
Pulse together almond flour, salt, and baking soda in a food processor or VitaMix.
Pulse in squares of dark chocolate until the texture of coarse sand (but be careful not to eat all of your chocolate!)
Pulse in dates until the texture of coarse sand, then pulse in eggs.
Pulse in coconut oil and vanilla until mixture is smooth.
Transfer mixture to a greased 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Mixture is very thick, so smooth with a spatula.
Bake at 350F for 18 - 22 minutes. Cool, cut, then serve and enjoy!
These brownies are so delicious that even my youngest asks me to make them because she's craving them! Don't they look moist and delicious?!
Eat these brownies in moderation and enjoy this authentic, real food dessert! It's true that dessert just makes life better. So start baking, and as always, find what gives you joy in your life!
