CHOC FUDGE BROWNIES with date caramel sauce



These choc fudge brownies will cure any sweet tooth's cravings - give them a go and see for yourself! 


Brownie Ingredients:
  • 1 cup dates (preferably medjool)
  • 3/4 cup almond flour or gluten free flour
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 2-3 tbsp maple syrup (or any other liquid sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Method:
  • Preheat oven to 180C
  • Pour some hot water over the medjool dates, just enough to cover them, and soak for approx. 10 minutes
  • Drain, then place in food processor and process until smooth consistency is formed
  • Add the flour, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla essence and baking powder to the dates and process again until smooth.
  • Line a 20x20 cm pan with baking paper and pour in, smoothing down the top
  • Bake for 15-20 mins, then cut into squares once it has cooled (or just have one massive brownie CAKE...hehe)


Icing ingredients:
  • 1 cup MEDJOOL dates (otherwise won't be smooth enough!)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup water

Method:
  • Put all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth (may take a while, just be patient!) Scrape down the sides when necessary
  • Now spread it on to your cooled brownies and enjoy! Top with anything else you desire (I used BlendCo superfood blend and some fresh blueberries!)
