Directions
Soak the dates in a bowl of hot water, making sure they're fully covered. Let them sit for about 10 minutes until they soften up, then drain them well. Meanwhile, line a baking pan with parchment paper to get it ready. In a food processor, combine the almonds, pecans, cocoa powder, and chia seeds, pulsing until everything is nicely chopped and mixed. Add the soaked dates and a pinch of salt, then process again until the mixture becomes smooth and sticky. Press this mixture evenly into the lined pan. For the icing, stir together the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and honey until smooth, then spread it over the top of the brownie base. Pop it in the fridge to set before slicing and enjoying!
How To Serve It Best
Serve chilled with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra crunch. They also pair nicely with fresh berries or a drizzle of nut butter.
