Main Ingredients
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Pulse Dates and Walnuts: In a food processor, pulse the pitted dates and walnuts until they are finely chopped and form a coarse mixture.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the cacao powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, almond butter, and honey to the food processor. Process all ingredients together until a sticky, well-combined dough forms.
- Press Into Pan: Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the sticky dough mixture into the pan and press it down evenly to create an even, compact layer.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for 1 to 2 hours until the brownies firm up and are easy to cut.

Notes
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Ensure dates are soft; if dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor if desired.
