Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups raw unsalted walnuts
  • 2 cups packed pitted medjool dates Make sure they are soft and fresh.
  • 1/3 cup walnuts (optional, if you want some walnut chunks) Pulse in after the main mixture if using.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the 2 cups of walnuts, medjool dates, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt together until a sticky dough forms.
  3. If using the optional 1/3 cup walnuts for chunks, add them now and pulse a few times to mix.
  4. Firmly press the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with your hands or a spatula. For a mini muffin pan, spoon the mixture into each well and flatten the tops.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the brownies and spread evenly.
  7. Place the brownies in the fridge or freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
  8. Remove from the pan and cut into squares or pop out of the muffin pan.
