Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Pitted Dates
- 3/4 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 1/4 Cup Hemp Seeds
- 1 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil Divided
- 2/3 Cup Cacao Powder Divided
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup Divided
- 3 tbsps Almonds (Organic) Roasted, Crushed
- 2 tbsps Cacao Nibs
- 2 tbsps Goji Berries
Instructions
- Add the dates, coconut, hemp seeds, and chia seeds to the bowl of a food processor. Add 1/3 of the coconut oil, 3/4 of the cacao powder, and 1/2 of the maple syrup. Process until a sticky dough is formed, about five minutes.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Scoop the brownie dough into the pan and flatten with your hands or a spatula, until evenly spread. Transfer to the freezer to set for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple syrup. Heat on the stove over low until the coconut oil has melted. Whisk to combine and remove from the heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour the melted chocolate over top of the cold brownies. Sprinkle on the crushed hazelnuts, cacao nibs, and goji berries. Transfer to the fridge to set for 10 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
