Servings : Brownie Bites
Calories : 39kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (100 g) soft pitted dates
- ⅓ cup (50 g) mixed nuts
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon raisins, or currants, cranberries
- 4 dried mango slices, or apricots
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
Topping
- ¼ cup (40 g) dark chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil
- a sprinkle fleur de sel
- a few chopped dried mango slices
- a few chopped nuts
Instructions
- Pulse the dates and nuts in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
- Add coconut flour, cocoa powder, raisins, dried mango slices, salt, and water. Blend again until you get a sticky mixture. It doesn’t need to be completely smooth.
- Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8-inch (20 cm) loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil over a double boiler (or in the microwave). Pour over the brownies and spread evenly with a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with fleur de sel, chopped dried mango, and nuts.
- Freeze for 20 minutes (or refrigerate for 3 hours) until set. Cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) squares with a sharp knife. This makes about 24 small brownies.
Notes
- Storage: Keep the brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. They taste best cold!
- Coconut oil: Makes the chocolate a little thinner for spreading, but you can leave it out if you prefer.
- Protein boost: Replace some of the cocoa powder with 1–2 tablespoon chocolate protein powder if you want extra protein. Keep in mind it might make the brownies sweeter.
