How to make these spectacular peanut butter brownies
If you have tried my date smoothie, then you may remember how to prep Medjool dates. If you haven’t tried this smoothie, no worries.
First, remove the pits from the dates. Fresh Medjool dates will be soft, but if they seem a bit hard, soak them in warm water or milk for 10 minutes.
Blend the softened and pitted dates in a food processor or blender until they turn into a thick paste. Toss in the creamy peanut butter and cocoa powder to the mix.
Blend again until fully mixed. The mixture will likely not be smooth and may appear crumbly. Despite its appearance, it should come together and be moldable. Add a splash of water if it is too dry and not coming together.
Now that you have combined all the ingredients, it is assembly time! Add the brownie mix into a lined loaf pan, and press it down so it all comes together. You can top it with frosting, but that’s completely optional.
The peanut butter brownies are now ready to eat!
