Ingredients
For the brownie base:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate and date topping:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped dates
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
To make the brownie base: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or baking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
To make the chocolate and date topping: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, chopped dates, butter, and salt. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Spread the topping evenly over the brownie base and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
