These date brownies are rich, moist, and naturally sweetened with dates. Made without refined sugar, they’re a healthier dessert or snack option that doesn’t compromise on taste.
1 cup pitted dates (soaked in warm water) ½ cup whole wheat flour ¼ cup cocoa powder ¼ cup oil or melted butter ¼ cup milk 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract A pinch of salt ¼ cup chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips (optional)
Blend soaked dates with milk and oil until smooth.
In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Add the date purée and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix gently. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
Pour the batter into a greased baking tin and bake at 180°C for 20–25 minutes or until a skewer comes out with moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing into squares and serving.
