purely fruit sweetened brownies …

The quickest and easiest way to make brownies. Using only six ingredients. You may even say these brownies are healthy.

The recipe is courtesy of Elena Amsterdam via the Jamie Oliver site.

Ingredients
200 grams baking chocolate (unsweetened chocolate)
½ teaspoon baking soda
200 grams pitted dates (about 10 dates)
3 eggs
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Method
1) In a food processor, pulse chocolate and baking soda until texture of coarse sand.

2) Pulse in dates, then eggs, coconut oil and vanilla.

3) Transfer batter into a 20 x 20 centimeter baking dish.


4) Bake at 180°C/350°F for 26-30 minutes.

5) Cool for 1 hour.
6) Serve.

These brownies are fudgy, moist and yummy. I think they taste better the next day (they become chewy) after they have been in the refrigerator overnight. Be warned – you can’t stop at one.
