Description
The secret to the incredible texture of these brownies lies in the prune puree. This not only provides a rich, creamy texture but also gives the illusion of buttery goodness, even though there’s no butter in the recipe! These brownies are wonderfully satisfying, and since they are fat-free, you can indulge with a bit of butter-frosting on top if you wish. As a proud Canadian, I love adding maple syrup – it adds a perfect touch of sweetness. Whether for a quick treat or a large gathering, these brownies are sure to delight!

Servings
24 brownies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). 🔥
- Prepare your baking dish: Lightly grease an 8 x 11 x 2 inch ovenproof glass baking dish or a non-stick baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later. 📜
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat pastry flour, carob powder, cinnamon, cream of tartar, and baking soda. Set aside. 🌾🍫
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the prune puree, unsweetened applesauce, honey, maple syrup, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. 🍯🥄
- Incorporate wet and dry ingredients: Gently stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the brownies dense. 🍲🌀
- Pour batter into the baking dish: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. 🍴📏
- Bake the brownies: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. ⏲️🍪
- Cool and serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Once cooled, cut them into 24 squares and enjoy! 🌬️🍰
Tips and Tricks
- Texture: The prune puree is key to achieving a moist and chewy texture. Make sure to use a smooth prune baby food for the best results.
- Sweetness: If you prefer your brownies a bit sweeter, you can increase the amount of honey or maple syrup slightly.
- Storage: Store these brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well, making them a perfect make-ahead treat!
These brownies are a delightful combination of rich flavors and wholesome ingredients, making them a perfect choice for any occasion. Enjoy these guilt-free indulgences with your family and friends, and savor every delicious bite! 🍫💖
