  2. Add dates, goji berries, coconut oil, almond butter and vanilla extract. Pulse mixture about 20 times, or until it begins to stick together.
  3. Press mixture into a square brownie pan and refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting into squares and serving. (Refrigerate for up to 10 days.)
  4. As an option, you can add a chocolate frosting on top. Blend together ½ cup coconut oil (melted) ½ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup cacao and ½ teaspoon
