Ingredients
- ½ cup Medjool dates pitted
- 1 ½ cups whole spelt flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder I used aluminum free baking powder
- 1/3 cup almond butter at room temperature
- ¾ cup coconut oil melted and cooled – at room temperature
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or organic cane sugar
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 ½ ounces (100 grams) 70% dark chocolate, chopped and divided
- ½ cup toasted almonds chopped
- ¼ teaspoon fleur de sel or Maldon Salt
Instructions
- Place the dates into a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9X13 sheet pan with parchment paper and spray it with non-stick spray.
- Sift the spelt flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Place the dates, almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond milk, salt, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a food processor. Process until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the sifted dry ingredients. Gently stir until combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the chopped chocolate and fold the rest into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the sheet pan. Using the back of a spatula distribute it evenly throughout the pan.
- Sprinkle it with the reserved chocolate pieces, almonds, and fleur de sel.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let it cool for 45 minutes, slice, and serve.
