Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, blend the pitted Medjool dates with about half a cup of hot water until smooth.
  3. Add the melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the blended date mixture and pulse until smooth.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle dark chocolate chips on top if desired.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are set and the center is soft. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
