You won't feel bad about indulging in these brownies
The first time I went to visit my new baby niece, my brother's mother-in-law put out a plate of brownies to go with our tea. To me, the squares looked like healthy brownies. If I wasn't so hungry, I would have been polite and asked about the healthy brownie recipe. Instead, I dove in.
They have a fudge-like consistency. Their sweetness comes from the dried dates, which is balanced by the dried cranberries. The cocoa powder adds a dark sophisticated richness, and the grounded nuts add texture. There is coconut oil in the recipe, which acts as a binder to hold the brownies together.
If you have a food processor, you have to try this recipe! If you don't have one, find a friend who does! You don't want to miss out on these little squares of energy.
