Paleo Brownies

This is a combination of a couple of my other favourite recipes, and they are just amazing every time! Also, the sun flour is more affordable than other nut flours, which is a relief for my wallet!



(Gluten, grain, dairy, sugar free)

1 cup pitted dates
½ cup brewed coffee
¼ cup melted coconut oil
2 eggs
½ cup cocoa powder
2 ½ cups sun flour (ground sunflower seeds)
Vanilla extract
Pinch salt
5ml vinegar
½ tsp baking soda

·         Soak the dates in the coffee for about ½ an hour
·         Blend in a food processor with an S-blade until smooth.
·         Add the eggs and coconut oil to the blender and blend until well combined.
·         Add all the other ingredients and continue blending
·         Spoon into a greased and lined square cake tin
·         Bake @ 180ÂșC for 30 minutes

Optional extras:
Add raisins, chopped nuts, berries, citrus peel or ginger after step 4.
