Ingredients
  

  • 100 g medjool dates *check notes
  • 20 g maple syrup
  • 15 g cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 30 g almond butter
  • 40 g oat flour literally blended instant oats
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla

For the coating

  • 45 g dark chocolate
  • 5 g coconut oil
  • Sea salt flakes

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients into the food processor (except for the dark chocolate, coconut oil and sea salt flakes. You want the mixture to form a sticky batter like dough consistency.
  • Divide the mixture into 10 portions. Oil your palms and roll each portion into balls.
  • Transfer to a plate lined with baking paper and repeat. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • In the mean time, melt the chocolate in the microwave until smooth, add the coconut oil and stir together.
  • Remove the brownie balls from the freezer and dunk each one into the melted chocolate, using a fork remove it and tap out any excess chocolate, sprinkle over the sea salt flakes and place in the same plate. Repeat until all are done.
  • Place in the freezer again for 15 minutes or until set. Serve them fridge cold.

Notes

  • *Medjool dates: f you do not have medjool dates, use any dates but soak them in water first as they would dry and not sticky enough to create the fudgy texture we need.
  • If the mixture is too sticky add more oat flour/protein powder. If the mixture is too dry add more maple syrup.
  • You don’t have to dunk the balls in melted chocolate, you could drizzle it over the top as well.
