These brownies are perfectly sweetened, soft, and bit gooey, and have a crackly crust! All that and they are grain free and naturally sweetened!

1/2 C Whole Pitted Dates, soaked in hot water 15 minutes if hard (I used 7 pitted medjool dates)
1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt
1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 C Blanched Almond Flour
1/4 C Cocoa Powder
2 Large Eggs (Flax eggs can be substituted)
1/2 C Smooth Almond Butter
3 Tbsp Honey
2 Tsp. Pure Vanilla
1 Tbsp. Melted Coconut Oil (or preferred oil)
1/4 C Dairy Free Chocolate Chips (I prefer the Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line and grease an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 in pan with foil and set aside. Add the almond flour, soda, salt, and cocoa powder to the bowl of a food processor and process until all the dry ingredients are well blended. Add the dates, eggs, almond butter, honey, and coconut oil. Process until well blended, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Pulse in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan. Batter will be thick. Use a wet spatchula or wet hands to smooth into pan. Bake 20 - 30 minutes.
