My new favorite brownie recipe!
They taste very sweet, without any refined sugar. They are also dairy-free!
I used dates to sweeten them.
Why are dates really better than white sugar?
In addition to tasting naturally sweet, dates contain protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are also:
High in polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds that can protect the body from inflammation. Dates contain more polyphenols than most other fruits and vegetables.
Alternative to empty-calorie sweets. Dates can satisfy a person's sweet tooth while also providing essential nutrients, such as vitamin B-6 and iron.
High in fiber. Just ¼ of a cup of dates provides 12 percent of a person's daily fiber requirement. Fiber helps a person feel fuller for longer.
High in potassium. Dates are high in potassium, which is an electrolyte the body needs for good heart health. Potassium also helps to build muscle and proteins in the body.
