Vegan Snickers Brownies (Grain-Free and Made From Dates)

Ingredients

• Dates. The base of these date brownies is made from sticky, caramel-flavored, naturally sweet whole dates. Double check that each date is pitted before putting them into the food processor.
• Peanut butter. You'll use peanut butter in both the brownies and the peanut butter caramel layer.
• Milk. These date brownies will work with any plant-based milk; I prefer unsweetened vanilla soy milk for extra richness.
• Cocoa powder
• Flax seed meal
• Apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar helps activate the baking soda, giving these vegan Snickers brownies some loft.
• Baking soda
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Dark chocolate chips. Choose dairy-free and/or minimally sweetened as desired.
• Maple syrup
• Coconut oil. You'll use a tiny bit of coconut oil to help thin out the chocolate drizzle.
• Peanuts. Choose roasted and salted for maximum flavor. Honey-roasted peanuts will also work for a non-vegan version.
• Flaky sea salt
