Ingredients
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour or substitute gluten-free flour
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp baking powder may substitute for gluten-free
- 4 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 egg
- 1 banana
- ½ cup dates pureed, (approx. 10 pitted dates)
- ¼ cup oats
- ¼ cup peanut butter 100% natural, optional
- ¼ cup walnut pieces optional
Instructions
- To begin, place dates in a bowl and fill with water until the dates are all just barely covered. Let sit for 1-2 hours.
- After you have soaked your dates preheat the oven to 350.
- Peel bananas and mash them into a bowl until there are no large chunks (I enjoy having a few chunks).
- After mashing the bananas add the vanilla, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Mix these in well before adding other wet ingredients.
- Take the dates and place them into a food processor, and mix until it becomes like a heavy syrup (some pieces of the skin may remain whole in the mixture but this is ok.
- Add in the pureed dates, eggs, and flour to the batter. Stir completely and then add in oats gradually, mix well.
- Add your peanut butter and stir until ingredients are completely blended.
- Place the batter into a well-greased (you can use coconut butter for a healthy substitute to butter or oil) pan.
- Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes checking every 10 minutes to make sure you aren’t overcooking it.
- Remove pan from oven and enjoy your wonderful guilt-free brownies!
