Ingredients:
200g dark chocolate
3 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey, plus 1 tbsp extra
250g pumpkin, grated
1 1/3 cups (180g) almond meal
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground all-spice
A pinch of salt (optional)
1/3 cup Dutch cocoa
3/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 orange, zested and juiced
6 dates, pitted and roughly chopped
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a 20cm square baking pan.
2. Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Meanwhile in a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, olive oil and ¼ cup honey.
3. Remove melted chocolate from the heat and combine with the egg mixture. Fold in the pumpkin, almond meal, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, pinch of salt (if using), cocoa and 1/2 cup of pecans.
4. Pour batter into the lined tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool slightly before turning out and cutting into 9 pieces.
5. Meanwhile, add orange juice, zest and 1 tablespoon of honey into a small pot and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and allow the juice to reduce by half. Set aside to cool.
6. In a small bowl, add dates and cooled orange syrup. Stir to combine.
7. Serve brownies topped with dates, orange syrup and remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pecans.
