Homestyle Brownies

Who doesn’t love brownies? No one that I know! These guys are sooooo good. Plus they are sweetened with dates and grain-free! Learn about the health benefits of dates here.

Fudgy, gooey, chocolatey deliciousness in every bite. I’ve made my share of black bean brownies in various forms. No beans are hiding in here. No “secret ingredients.” Just pure, unadulterated, retro-turned-healthy goodness.

These handsome treats have the authentic taste of a down-home, Grandma-good, somebody-loves-you brownie! You take a bite and either melt into a bliss-induced coma or float into a culinary cloud of cozy comfort. Guilt-free pleasure! Somebody loves you. xx

Ingredients

  • 1 heaping cup pitted medjool dates—I measured mine whole (If your dates are dry, which can happen in lower humidity weather, soak them for about 10 minutes in warm water)

  • 1½ cups blanched almond flour

  • 1/2 cup raw almond butter

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional, but makes it a bit sweeter)

  • 1 TBS pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 2/3 cup water

  • 2 cups raw walnuts

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.

  2. Line a 7″ x 11″ casserole dish (or 8 x 8 square) with parchment paper.

  3. Place all ingredients, except the walnuts, in a food processor and pulse until combined. Scrape the sides down as needed. Add the walnuts whole and pulse just a few times to incorporate and break them up a bit. Or just chop them roughly and stir them in at the end.

  4. Add love! 💗

  5. Spoon the batter into the casserole and smooth the top evenly. This batter is THICK and STICKY. Just take your time.

  6. Bake for 30 minutes.

  7. Let cool completely before slicing! Store in the fridge.

Makes 9 fat ones. Enjoy!
