Days off, public holidays and weekends are made for baking.
So one thing you should know about me is that I have a weird sweet tooth. Weird in the sense that I don’t actually need things to be sweet at all. So I always need my mom to taste test my cooking and baking for me. And truth be told we have such different tastes! My first time making these brownies I enjoyed them but my mom said they were extremely bland. So the second time I added some dates, peanut butter and dark chocolate topping. She seemed to enjoy that more! Hopefully the recipe is enjoyable to all of you. If you know you enjoy sweeter things then maybe add some xylitol, date hunny or syrup. About 1/4 cup should be enough. Always remember that adding sugar is also adding extra calories. But whose counting 😉
This recipe serves 12 reasonable squares.
