Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.

If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes. Blend the dates in a food processor until they form a smooth paste.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, salt, and baking powder.

In another bowl, mix the date paste, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and smooth.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined.

Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.

Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them.
