These are yummy, and compared to other brownies, pretty healthy.
Here are the list of Ingredients:
1 C. Pitted Medjool Dates
3/4 C. Hot Water
1 C. Rolled Oats
1/2 C. Walnut Pieces
1/2 C. Cocoa Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
3 T. Maple Syrup
2 tsp. Orange Extract (or Vanilla if you wish)
Pinch Sea Salt
METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 350F/175C
- Pour hot water over the dates and let them sit in a bowl for about 10 minutes
- Drain the water off and then blend up the dates in a food processor, scraping down as you go
- Add oatmeal, walnuts, cocoa, baking powder, maple syrup, and sea salt.
- Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl as you go.
- In an 8"x8" pan, cover bottom with parchment paper and press in brownies
- Bake 20 minutes
- Let cool, and then cut into 16 pieces
- You may store the brownies for up to 5 days in the fridge (in an airtight container)
Using the information at FitnessPal.com, I calculate that each brownie has about 175 calories... AND a whopping 13g of fibre!!
