Ingredients
- 200 grams pitted dates
- 240 milliliters hot water
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 100 grams applesauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, soak the pitted dates in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the dates and transfer them to a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk together the date paste, vanilla extract, egg whites, and applesauce. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
Step 7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly fudgy.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy these delicious, low-fat date brownies as a healthier treat.
