STEPS

1

Soak dates in hot water in a small bowl for 10 to 15 minutes.

5

Add wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to the mixture. Pulse until just combined for about 30 seconds. Stir in chocolate chips manually.

6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until edges just begin to set.

8

Cool in the dish for 10 minutes, gently lift out using parchment overhang, and cool completely on a rack.

9

Cut into 16 squares and serve.
