Get the Recipe: 4 Ingredient Date Brownies
Rich, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey with a thick peanut butter and dark chocolate topping that sets over the pressed date brownie base. Every bite delivers the caramel-like sweetness of dates alongside the richness of peanut butter and dark chocolate with no refined sugar anywhere.
Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 cup pitted dates, softened
- ⅖ cup creamy all natural peanut butter
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, or honey
Topping
- ½ cup creamy all natural peanut butter
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- First, line an 8 inch by 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
- To soften your dates, place them in hot water for at least 10 minutes. Then, drain the water.
- Add your softened dates, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup to a food processor or blender. Process until combined.
- Press this mixture into an even layer in your lined pan.
- Then, make the topping. Combine the peanut butter and the melted chocolate in a bowl. Stir until creamy.
- Pour the topping over the brownies.
- Place in the fridge for at least one hour to firm up.
- Finally, remove from the fridge. Slice and serve.
Notes
- I highly recommend soaking the dates in hot water. This allows them to soften, and thus, blend easier.
- Feel free to use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower butter.
- Feel free to add in chocolate chips.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
