Yummy Rummy Brownies

April 30, 2021 by Aileen Metcalf

I’ve been in the mood for some serious fudgy brownies. I checked out a cookbook my friend Vicky got me called Clean Start by Terry Walters – it’s a fabulous read! There’s a recipe in there for healthy brownies…and they are decadent and rich, but actually healthy!

As a tip, I like to use a combination of carob powder and unsweetened dark cocoa powder. It gives it a balanced, chocolaty flavor. I highly recommend it!

Adapted from Clean Start

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 c. organic whole wheat pastry flour, like Bob’s Red Mill

  • 1⁄2 c. almond flour

  • 1⁄2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder and/or carob powder

  • 2 tsp. baking powder

  • 1⁄2 tsp. baking soda

  • 1⁄4 tsp. sea salt

  • Pinch of cinnamon

  • 1⁄2 c. unsweetened applesauce

  • 8 pitted dates, about 1/3 c. pureed dates*

  • 1 ripe banana or 1⁄2 c. coconut sugar

  • 1⁄2 c. pure maple syrup

  • Splash of rum

    *You can soak the dates in rum ahead of time; that’s what I did. These turned out great!

  • Nederlandse Bookmakers

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease an 8×8 oven-safe pan with coconut oil or vegan butter.
  • In a food processor, combine all of the wet ingredients, including the dates and banana (or sugar). Process until smooth. Add the first 6 ingredients to the food processor and process again until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the batter. Top with nuts, if desired. I used sliced almonds – I highly recommend it!
  • Bake the brownies for about 25 minutes. After that time has elapsed, check to see if the brownies are done by inserting a toothpick into the brownies. If it comes out clean, they are done. Place on a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
  • These are so gooey and good that I ate three right after they came out of the oven. This makes about 9 decently-sized brownies, more if you have self-control 😉

    Cheers!
