Notes

Store brownies in the fridge so they stay firm. They will keep for up to two weeks.
If you want to play around with flavours, try adding goji berries, cacao nibs, coconut flakes or even crunchy peant butter instead or (or in addition to ) the chopped almonds.
You can add an frosting layer on top of the brownie by mixing some melted coconut oil, cacao and honey.
These brownies contain no added sugars (unless you choose to add a bit of honey). The sweetness comes from the natural sugars in the dates. They are also a source of protein and fibre (from the nuts), which should help to keep you full.
If you’re looking for a sweet treat in the afternoon or after dinner, these raw chocolate brownies are a great option. Just make sure you stick to one brownie!
