METHOD:

TIP: It’s a good idea—though not strictly necessary—to soak the dates in hot water for about 10 minutes before blending. This softens them and makes the blending process much easier and smoother.

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a 23 x 30 cm baking sheet with baking paper.

2. In a food processor, blend the dates (drained if soaked), maple syrup, peanut butter, soy drink, and vanilla extract until a creamy purée forms.

3. Add the black beans, cocoa, baking powder, almond flour, and flaxseeds. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

4. Roughly chop the chocolate into small chunks. Stir 70g of the chocolate pieces (reserving the rest for the glaze) and the hazelnuts into the mixture.

5. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake for 20 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

7. If you’d like to glaze the top, drizzle with melted chocolate. To melt the chocolate, use a double boiler or place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
