If you are looking for a quick dessert that satisfies your chocolate craving without any baking, you have found it. These date brownies are incredibly soft and chewy, and they rely entirely on the natural sweetness of dates rather than refined sugar.

My best tip for this recipe is to make sure your dates are soft and moist before you start. If they feel a little dry or tough, just soak them in warm water for ten minutes and drain them well before blending.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the walnuts into a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground.

  2. 2

    Add the pitted dates, cocoa powder, and salt to the processor.

  3. 3

    Blend the mixture until it turns into a thick, sticky dough that holds together when you press it.

  4. 4

    Line a small square baking dish with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Press the dough firmly and evenly into the dish using the back of a spoon.

  6. 6

    Place the dish in the fridge for at least one hour to let the brownies set before you cut them into squares.

💡 Tips

Store these brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. If you want a bit of extra texture, try pressing a few extra crushed walnuts or some shredded coconut into the top of the dough before chilling.
