Recipe Steps

Making this recipe is so easy! You do need a food processor (Cuisinart makes a great entry-level model), but that’s the only special equipment you need.

1. The first step is to gather up all of your ingredients and then throw them all into the food processor (except for the chocolate chips).

2. After you’ve blended everything up, add the chocolate chips and process them until they mix with the other ingredients.

3. Lastly, press the mixture into a glass pan and chill until you’re ready to serve the date brownies.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups slivered almonds
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (about 10 pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  3. Stop the food processor and add the chocolate chips. Process an additional 30 seconds or until the chocolate chips break up a little bit.
  4. Remove the lid from the food processor and transfer the mixture to an 8-inch by 8-inch glass baking dish. Use your hands to press the mixture evenly into the baking dish.
  5. Refrigerate the brownies for at least 15 minutes so the mixture can start to firm up.
