Not only are these the fudgiest brownies ever, but these grain-free and dairy-free fudge brownies are entirely date sweetened and have a healthier peanut butter chocolate fudge frosting!

Ingredients

Brownies:

Frosting:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9" x 5" loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper for easy removal of brownies. If you don't have parchment paper, you can spray the pan with baking spray.
  • In the bowl of your food processor fitted with the S-blade, process the dates until it becomes pasty. It'll be spreadable, but not a liquid.
    80 grams dates
  • Add the vanilla, peanut butter, milk and coconut oil and blend until homogeneous.
    2 teaspoons vanilla, 1/4 cup (65 grams) natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons milk of choice, 1/4 cup (56 grams) refined coconut oil
  • Add the egg and pulse just until combined. Do not over mix here!
    1 large egg
  • Add the remaining ingredients (coconut flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder) and pulse once or twice to get it mostly combined, and then use a plastic spatula and finish mixing it in.
    1/4 cup (32 grams) coconut flour, 1/3 cup (38 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Bake the brownies for 10 – 12 minutes or just until the top appears set. If you press down into the brownies with your finger, they will be very, very soft.
  • Let cool completely before frosting.
  • For the frosting, melt the coconut oil, natural peanut butter and cocoa powder in a small pan over low heat. When completely melted and smooth, take the pan off the heat, add the honey and stir until well combined.
    1 1/2 tablespoons (21 grams) refined coconut oil, 1/4 cup (64 grams) natural peanut butter, 2 1/2 tablespoons (12 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon (20 grams) honey
  • Frost the brownies and place the loaf pan back in the refrigerator to allow the frosting to set (to allow for easier cutting).
  • Once the frosting is set, cut the brownies and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
