refined sugar free brownies
these brownies are made with cacao powder and refined sugar free chocolate chips for a decadent and chocolate-y treat.
Servings: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter runny is better
- 1/2 cup honey
- 6 medjool dates softened - boil them in hot water for 5-10 mins to soften
- 1/3 cup cacao powder
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- start by removing the skin off the medjool dates, if they are soft, the skin (outer layer) should easily peel off, and remove the pit as well. place them in a medium sized bowl.
- add the almond butter and mash together until well combined.
- continue by adding the honey and vanilla extract, mixing as you go.
- melt the chocolate chips in a microwavable safe bowl - increments of 30-40 seconds, mixing in between, until they are fully melted.
- mix the coconut oil in with the melted chocolate and then add to the rest of the wet ingredients.
- mix in the eggs.
- now add the dry ingredients, and mix well, doing your best to remove any clumps.
- transfer your batter to a square baking dish lined with parchment paper.
- bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 30 minutes. remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing.
- you can store these in the fridge or freezer. enjoy with topping such as fresh berries, yogurt, or ice cream.
Notes
- Feel free to add extra chocolate chips on top before you put these into the oven - as many as you'd like. You can also add them half-way through baking.
