- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seed butter
- 1/2 cup coconut oil plus more to oil pan, warmed
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 3/4 cup pure maple sugar or cane sugar
- 1/3 cup plain soy milk
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate coarsely chopped and divided
- 1/4 cup shelled pumpkin seeds pepitas
- Maldon or fleur de sel or other flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Place dates in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 20 minutes or until softened, then drain well.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper; brush paper and sides of pan lightly with coconut oil, and set aside.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into a medium bowl; whisk to combine and set aside.
- Place pumpkin butter butter, warm coconut oil and drained dates in a food processor; blend until smooth. It's okay if a few small date pieces are not blended.
- Add maple syrup, maple sugar, soy milk, salt and vanilla and process until smooth.
- Pour into sifted flour mixture, and stir with a rubber spatula until almost combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons chopped chocolate and stir remaining chocolate into batter, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with pepitas, remaining chocolate, and a large pinch of sea salt.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes or until edges pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- For best results, refrigerate until completely cold before cutting. These brownies keep well for three or four days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
