1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 cup almond butter

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup sorghum flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

8 - 10 majool dates

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (mini are best, but regular will also work

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F and grease an 8×8 pan. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the first 3 ingredients until smooth. Add all remaining ingredients, and stir. Only if it’s too dry after stirring to resemble a thick brownie batter, very slowly add a little milk of choice (or water) until the desired texture is reached. Smooth evenly into the prepared pan, then press in some extra chocolate chips if desired. Bake 20 minutes, then remove from the oven. It will look a little undercooked, so do not touch the pan for at least 15 minutes. After this time, it will have firmed up and you can cut without crumbling. After a day, leftovers should be stored in the fridge for freshness.
