Pregnancy Date Brownies

You don’t have to be pregnant to eat these brownies, but if you want a delicious way to enjoy your 4-6 dates per day this is a great way to do it ! Eating dates while pregnant may reduce the need for induction and reduce the length of labor. 

Dates are also packed with nutrients like fiber and antioxidants. These brownies are Gluten-free & Vegan and sweetened naturally with dates. The only sugar is in the chocolate chips ! 

Ingredients:

-1 cup GF flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 flour)

-1/4 cup cocoa

-1/4 tsp baking soda

-1 tsp baking powder

-1/4 tsp cinnamon

-1/4 cup plant based melted butter 

-1 cup unsweetened almond milk 

-1 tsp vanilla

-3/4 cup chopped dates (12-14 dates)

Mix ingredients as listed, pour batter into greased glass dish. Sprinkle 1/4-1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Makes 12 brownies.
