Method

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Lightly grease and line a square 20cm (8in) brownie tin with nonstick baking paper.
Steam the butternut squash over a medium heat until you can pierce it easily with a knife. This should take around 8-10 mins. Drain and tip into a blender and blend together with the coconut oil, maple syrup and pitted dates to make a smooth purée. Add the egg and vanilla extract and blitz again. Set aside.
Meanwhile, sift all of the dry ingredients, except for the hazelnuts, into a large bowl. Pour the butternut squash purée into the dry ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon. Fold in the hazelnuts and then pour the mixture into the prepared brownie tin.
Bake in the oven for 20 mins. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 mins in the tin. Cut into 16 squares and eat while still warm or at room temperature.
