Ingredients
  

Brownies:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder
  • 3/4 cup dates pitted
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips

Peanut Butter Frosting:

  • One 400 ml can full-fat coconut milk chilled, only the thick white coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • To prepare the brownies, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Add the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cocoa or cacao powder to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Add the dates and water to a small blender. Blend until smooth. Add the blended date paste, peanut butter, coconut oil, and vanilla to the bowl. Stir until combined and smooth. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Add the brownie batter to your prepared pan and evenly spread into all corners and sides of the pan. Bake in the oven for 20-23 minutes, or until firm on the edges but slightly soft in the center. Let cool.
  • To prepare the peanut butter frosting, remove the thick white coconut cream from a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk. You can save the thin coconut milk for smoothies, sauces, curries, or other recipes. Add the coconut cream to a small bowl or stand mixer. Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and maple syrup. Beat with your stand mixer or hand-held mixer until soft and fluffy. Spread evenly onto your cooled brownies and slice into 16 bars.
  • Store in the fridge for up to a week or freezer for up to a month.
