Servings 12

Ingredients

12 large pitted medjool dates

½ cup clean nut butter (means no added sugar or oil)

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)

¼ cup dark chocolate chips (but no one is the boss of you :) - you measure that with your heart)

¼ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil

¾ tsp. flakey salt

Instructions

1. Add dates, almond butter, cocoa powder, and sea salt to a food processor; cover. Process until smooth.

2. Line an 8 x 5-in. loaf pan with parchment (leave a little hanging over the sides to lift the brownies out); press date mixture evenly into pan. Freeze for 30 minutes.

3. While the mixture is freezing, add chocolate chips and oil to a heatproof bowl; set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally, until chocolate is fully melted; set aside.

4. Remove pan from freezer; top with melted chocolate. Sprinkle with flakey salt.

5. Let chocolate set for 1 minute; lift brownies out of pan. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
