Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan. Blend the pitted dates in a food processor with 4 tbsp hot water until glossy.
- Beat in the tahini, egg and vanilla, then fold in the cocoa, almond flour and baking powder.
- Bake 20-22 minutes, until the edges are set and the middle still wobbles faintly. Cool in the pan.
Chef’s tipUnderbake by two minutes; a brownie that tests clean in the middle has already become chocolate cake.
KeepKeeps 4 days in an airtight container, 2 months frozen. Eat them cold; warming makes them cakey.
SwapNo tahini? Almond butter.
