Vegan Chocolate Brownies made with dates and coconut oil. Super delicious, a great sweet treat when you need a chocolate fix. Vegan Recipe. #veganricha #vegan

Made these brownies twice.. the first ones were darker.. and the second ones were more brunette!:) These fun treats are best consumed warm the same day, topped with some fruit compote or vegan vanilla icecream!! VeganMofo Post 11.

Check out this newer fudgier darker awesomer Brownie post here… Triple chocolate Salted Caramel Brownie

Hubb’s birthday is coming in 2 days, and I have been so wrapped up in mofo, that I totally lost track of the date… now fretting over what to do or gift.. Done all the usual things so many times already.. though of course he will say all the sweet things like.. babe u already gave me all the best gifts and all this great food and blah etc ;). he is a sweetie… but still.. I think I will think tomorrow in some clear daytime, if my allergy fogged brain clears up!

Pictured below are the darker ones. I added some dates to help reduce the needed sugar content.. The dates, if pureed add a bit of date after taste to the brownie. I chopped the dates for the brunette brownie. The pureed dates also make the brownie more fudgy(darker ones). Scheduling this post and heading of to much needed sleep.

Ingredients

1/3 cup (41.67 g) Self rising flour
2/3 cup (80 g) whole wheat pastry flour
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder (1 Tablespoon more for darker)
5 Tablespoons chocolate chips/cacao nibs
2 Tablespoons coconut oil
4 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons flax meal
1/2 cup (125 ml) water
4 mejbool dates chopped or pureed (can be substituted by 2 Tablespoons sugar)
2 Tablespoons Agave syrup
1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or instant coffee or any mild spice
5 Tablespoons raw sugar or jaggery

Instructions

Soak the dates without pits in warm water for half an hour.
In a blender, blend dates, sugar, salt, lemon juice, agave, oils, flax, cocoa powder with 1/3 cup of water.
In a bowl, add the flours and the chocolate chips. Add the date puree.
Mix till just about combined. Add more water if needed to get a thick batter. Taste batter and adjust sweetness to taste(since I usually make my baked goods mildly sweet). You can adjust the cocoa powder too. The color of the brownie will be a mildy deeper shade of the batter. Add nuts if you like. I added some chopped almonds in the brunette version.
Drop and smooth batter in prepared pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes till top is not jiggly and a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean. The darker batch was baked to just about done and looks gooey, while the brunette batch was baked a bit more( and also had a little baking powder) and looks more cakey.
Cool on rack before slicing. Serve with vegan icecream or fruit compote or melted chocolate !
You can chop up the dates and add to the brownie instead of the date puree. Add 2-3 Tablespoons more oil for a gooeyier brownie. Have a fantastic day!
