Learn how to make fudge-y date brownies! They taste decadent but are vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, oil-free, and 100% amazing.

Date Brownies (Vegan, Grain-Free, Oil-Free)

dates

water

almond butter ((see notes for options))

flaxseed meal ((see notes for options))

baking powder ((certified gluten-free, as needed))

salt

vanilla extract

cocoa powder ((or raw cacao powder))

Soak

Place the dates in a small mixing bowl. Add the boiling water to the bowl. Let stand for at least 30 minutes to soften. Do not drain.

Preheat

Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line 21 cups of a 24-count mini muffin tin (or 2 12-count mini muffin tins) with silicone liners (or paper or foil liners; silicone liners work best for easy release of the muffins). If you eat oil, you can also grease the cups, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Blend

Transfer the dates and their soaking liquid to a mini blender or food processor. Add the almond butter. Process until completely smooth.

Combine

Add the cocoa powder, flaxseed meal, baking powder, optional salt and optional vanilla to the food processor. Process, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides with a spatula, until completely blended.

Portion

Divide batter evenly between 21 prepared mini muffin cups (I like to use a small cookie scoop).

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until tops are just firm to the touch (do not overtake or the brownies will dry out and will not be fudge-y).

Cool

Cool the brownies, in the muffin tin, for 10 minutes. Remove the brownies from the tin and cool completely on a cooling rack.

Really delicious! These do not taste like “healthy” brownies or dessert. They are a perfect sweet treat. I portioned them and froze for when I need more chocolate . Thanks for the recipe.
