Utasítás
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 9-inch brownie pan with parchment paper. Lightly oil paper and pan with cooking spray set aside.
- Place the pitted dates in a glass bowl, pour the boiled water on top, and press the dates with a fork to make sure they are all mostly immerged in hot water. Cover the bowl with a lid or plate. Set aside 10 minutes.
- Pour the water and dates from the bowl, to a food processor bowl.
- Add peanut butter, flaxmeal, and baking soda.
- Process on medium-high speed until a date paste forms. It takes about 1 minute.
- Open the food processor, add the remaining ingredients, oat flour, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, and process again on high speed until it forms a super sticky chocolate batter.
- Open the food processor, add chocolate chips, pulse a few times to evenly blend in.
- Use a rubber spatula to remove the batter from the food processor and pour into the prepared pan. The batter is very sticky and messy, that's normal. Try your best to place some batter all over the pan, you will smoothen and flatten it later.
- When the pan contains all the batter, flatten it into a thin even layer. But the batter is too sticky to use a spatula or hands. My tip is to cut a piece of parchment paper that matches the inside of the pan – a square that is a bit smaller than the pan. Spray the cooking oil on one side of the paper. Place that oiled side on top of the brownie batter.
- Press the piece parchment paper on top of the brownies with your hand to flatten the batter, then use something flat like the back of a measuring cup or the bottom of glass to press all around the pan and create an even layer of brownie.
- Peel off the parchment paper and discard.
- Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until the top is dry and cracks.
- Let them cool down in the pan for 10 minutes, then on a cooling rack.
- Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of the hot brownies to add sweetness and a pinch of sea salt flakes if desired.
- Slice into 16 brownies after the brownie is cooled.

You only need a handful of wholesome ingredients to make this recipe, here’s how I choose them.

- Medjool Dátumok – These provide sweetness, moisture, and fiber. Other dates will not provide the same moisture, so it’s best to stick with Medjool.
- Forralt víz – This softens the dates for blending. No real alternative here, hot water is key.
- Mogyoróvaj – This adds richness and fat. Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter also work.
- Lenliszt – This acts as a binder and adds chewiness. Ground chia seeds are a suitable substitute.
- Édesítetlen kakaópor – This provides the chocolate flavor. No direct alternative, but you can adjust the amount to your taste.
- Étcsokoládé chips – These add texture and richness. The percentage of cocoa determines sweetness. Choose chips that match your sweetness preference.
- Zabliszt – This adds structure. Gluten-free certified oat flour is essential for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Szódabikarbóna – This helps with leavening and texture. No direct alternative, it’s needed for the right texture.
- Vaníliakivonat – This adds flavor. No real alternative, but you could use vanilla bean paste.
How to Make Date Brownies
This recipe is really easy to whip up in a few minutes. Here are pictures of key steps.

Process the ingredients until it makes a sticky paste.

Add the cocoa powder and flaxseed meal to the batter.

Press the brownie batter in the pan with parchment paper on top by pushing a flat cup.

Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).

Let me share a few more tips for perfect brownies, even if it’s your first time baking brownies!
- Date Softening Time – Ensure the dates soak for the full 10 minutes to properly soften.
- Food Processor Cleanliness – Scrape down the sides of the food processor regularly to ensure even blending.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution – Pulse the chocolate chips rather than fully blending them to maintain their texture.
- Pan Lining Precision – Make sure the parchment paper fits snugly in the pan to prevent batter from seeping underneath.
- Cooling Patience – Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Nut Addition – Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra crunch.
- Storage Technique – Store brownies with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Warm Serving Option – Gently warm the brownies before serving for a softer, fudgier texture.






Wow, so pleased!! I subbed chia seeds for flax seeds, and had to bake it longer but excellent!
I am so glad it worked ell this way!
It’s a lot of sugars with the dates (340.2gms/12oz). I know dates have a lower glymic index but that doesn’t even count for the chocolate chips! They do look good, however.
A regular brownie serve has around 30g sugar, and no fibers! It means these date brownies have 40% less sugar.
Hello. How do we figure out/know how many medjool dates equal 12 ounces? Not good at math! Thanks.
I don’t like to measure in number of dates, they come in different size and it can easily range from 12 to 20. If you don’t use enough of them the batter will never hold or firm up.
I love this recipe. I sometimes substitute the nut butter for tahini paste – it works really well and means I can take them to work.
I also swapped out the oat flour for coconut flour once – I did have to add more liquid as the coconut flour left the mixture really dry but it did give it a lovely underlying coconut taste.
I am loving all of your recipes and you are inspiring me to try and be a lot healthier in my choices – thank you!
That’s lovely to hear your feedbacks, thank you!
Hi. This is very tasty but it didn’t rise much. Looks more like a cookie. Used an 8×8 pan. Exact measurements of the baking powder and soda.
Merci.
It’s a gluten-free brownie so it doesn’t raise much.
Hello! Can carob be used instead of cocoa for a toddler friendly version ? Thank you.
Maybe, I haven’t baked with carob powder yet but it doesn’t have the same properties as cocoa – not the same amount of fiber for example so it will impact firmness and of course flavor.
I can’t believe there’s no refined sugar or flour brownies! the consistency was so good. chewy and very tasty. I will definitely make these on repeat!
Köszönöm ezt a gyönyörű visszajelzést!
Ez pontosan úgy működött, ahogy leírtuk, köszönöm!
Köszönöm!
I have just made these and they are fabulous. My daughter says they are the best I have ever made.
Köszönöm!
Looks delicious! What other types of flour could you use? Thanks.
You can use almond flour too, but the brownies will be more fragile.
