Ingredients

2 cups cauliflower florets, steamed and cooled
1 cup medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy plant milk
3 TBSP natural almond butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour {See step 2 to make your own}
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
2 scoops/sachets Chocolate Complete*
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of unrefined sea salt
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Chop cauliflower florets into small pieces and place in a steamer basket on top of the pot. Cover and let it steam for about 10 minutes until soft. Remove from heat and let it cool down for 30 minutes or more.
2. (Make oat flour, if needed, using a half cup of gluten-free oats in a food processor. Set aside.)
3. Preheat the oven to 350 F/175 C and line a 7×7 inch pan with parchment paper.
4. Add the first 5 ingredients (steamed cauliflower, dates, milk, nut/seed butter, and vanilla) to a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
5. Add the dry ingredients (oat flour, cacao powder, Chocolate Complete, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt) and blend until evenly incorporated.
6. Hand stir in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips. Pour into pan lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake in the oven at 350 F for 45-50 minutes, until the top is shiny and set and starts to crack.
8. Let it cool down for at least 30 minutes. Place a plate on top of the pan, flip it over and lift the pan off and remove the parchment paper and replace the pan and flip over to slice the brownies. Enjoy and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
