Are you craving a chewy and chocolatey brownie, but you’re worried about all the sugar and artificial flavours? Well, have no fear because this is not only a better brownie, but it is a superfood packed with amazing ingredients. To add on to it’s greatness, it is only 59 calories. It is no bake, dairy-free, and gluten-free. This dessert recipe is great for anyone out there craving brownies, but without all the guilt.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 cup raw cashews

9 dates, pitted

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 ripe banana

1/4 cup applesauce

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

Put the oats, cashews, dates, cocoa powder and salt inside a food processor, then blend it all together until it is smooth and floury. After that, you add banana and applesauce and continue to blend until it becomes a thick, sticky dough. Spray a 7×11 pan lightly with coconut oil or cooking oil. Put the mixture into the pan firmly using the back of a spatula. Top with the walnuts, pushing them firmly into the dough. Next step is to place the pan in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up. Cut into equal sized squares of choice, and store the extra brownies in the fridge.

Note: you can always add a scoop of ice cream for extra yum!
