Naturally sweetened with medjool dates and maple syrup, this dessert combines wholesome ingredients with decadent chocolate for an indulgent yet healthier brownie option perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 2 cups medjool dates, tightly packed
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup canned coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/4 cup rainbow candy coated chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Dish: Line a 9×9 inch square dish with parchment paper, allowing some excess over the edges. This prevents sticking and makes it easier to remove the brownies later.
  2. Make Brownie Base: In a food processor, combine almond flour, walnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse until walnuts are finely ground to a flour-like consistency. Add pitted medjool dates and blend again until a sticky, cohesive dough forms. Transfer this dough to the prepared dish and press firmly and evenly across the bottom to form the brownie base.
  3. Prepare Ganache: In a separate bowl, combine chocolate chips, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Scoop all contents of the canned coconut cream (both thick cream and liquid) into another bowl and microwave for 1 minute 45 seconds. Whisk the warmed coconut cream to blend then pour 2/3 cup of it over the chocolate mixture. Let sit 1-2 minutes to soften, then whisk until smooth. If chips aren’t fully melted, microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds and whisk again.
  4. Assemble Brownies: Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the brownie base layer. Use a spatula and gently tap the dish on the countertop to smooth the surface. Sprinkle the rainbow candy coated chips evenly on top.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the brownies for at least 4 hours or until the ganache layer is set and firm.
  6. Serve: Using the excess parchment paper, lift the brownies from the dish. Cut into 16 equal squares and enjoy your cosmic brownies!

Notes

  • Make sure to use canned coconut cream that contains the thick cream layer, not just coconut milk.
  • Medjool dates should be pitted before processing.
  • Press the brownie base firmly to ensure it holds together well.
  • If you prefer a sweeter chocolate ganache, add a little more maple syrup.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
