3-½ouncespitted dates (about 8 - 10, depending on size)
3-½ouncesalmond meal (about 1 cup)
2tablespoonsunsweetened cocoa powder
2tablespoonsmelted butter or coconut oil
Instructions
Place dates in a heat proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes. (f you are using soft medjool dates you can skip this step.)
Place the dates, almond meal, cocoa powder and coconut oil in the bowl of your food processor.
Whizz until you have a smooth mixture that clumps together. This will take a few minutes.
Dump your mixture into a loaf pan lined with baking paper or foil, and use your hands to smooth out until it's the height you prefer. Don't spread the mixture over the whole base. Only use half or less, unless you want thin brownies.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set.
Cut into 8 even pieces. Store in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Variations:
blondies – skip the cocoa powder and add 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla
different nuts – substitute other nuts or nut meals, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, etc.
nut free - substitute sesame/sunflower seeds for the nuts.
weight watchers friendlier - substitute water for the butter/coconut oil. (You might not need it, just add a little at a time until the mixture clumps together.)
mini bars - cut them into 16 little rectangles, more the size of Weight Watchers Mini Snack Bars (but healthier because they are made from all natural ingredients) for 2 SmartPoints each
