Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chop the almonds: In a food processor, blend the raw almonds until they are finely chopped but not powdered, creating a coarse almond meal for texture.
- Combine ingredients: Add the pitted dates, cocoa powder, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Process the mixture until it becomes well combined, sticky, and holds together when pressed.
- Press into baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, then press the mixture evenly into the dish, compacting it firmly to form an even layer.
- Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the pressed mixture and press them down gently so they adhere to the surface.
- Chill to set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the brownies to firm up properly.
- Slice and serve: Once set, remove from the fridge, cut into squares, and enjoy your nutritious no bake superfood brownies!
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Ensure dates are soft for easier processing; soak in warm water if needed.
- Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds of your choice for added crunch.
- For a sweeter brownie, increase the honey or maple syrup slightly to taste.
