Healthy Chocolate Brownies w/ Date Caramel Sauce

Food | 02.08.17

Healthy Chocolate Brownies w/ Date Caramel Sauce

Happy Wednesday, friends! Has anyone else had a super crazy week this week? Personally, I think that Wednesdays call for a little treat. I mean, especially when it’s been a crazy week. A mid-week treat could go a lot of different ways, but today we’re talking brownies! Healthy Chocolate Brownies w/ Date Caramel Sauce, to be exact 😉 These brownies are quite amazing and only have around 71 calories each!

Random fact that I’ve never told you guys: In addition to being completely obsessed with food, I’m also a musician and play violin in a symphony about once a month. Yup! It’s SO much fun.  Last weekend I had a concert, so Cody and I went back home to play the show and hang out with his family. It was a wonderful trip, but we came back late Sunday night and hit the ground running with work, cleaning this disastrous apartment, and attempting to get somewhat organized before the week started.

We’ve been out of town almost every other weekend since November, so needless to say, I’m still playing catch up! As in I STILL have my Christmas tree up kind of catch up. Yeah. Gimme some of these Healthy Chocolate Brownies.

These Healthy Chocolate Brownies w/ Date Caramel Sauce are everything delicious about a brownie without the guilt!

The caramel sauce is made out of 3 ingredients and is super easy to make: just blend dates, vanilla, and water together! This date sauce is also amazing on every type of dessert, especially this Vegan Salted Caramel & Chamomile Ice Cream! The caramel is, of course, optional. But completely necessary! 😉

For the chocolate chips, I used these. They’re my fave! But you can also use cocao nibs. Or really just top them off with whatever you love! Coconut chips, goji berries….the possibilities are endless!

    Do you think mashed banana would work in place of applesauce? I don’t have any applesauce on hand but do have a very ripe banana. These look interesting so I can’t wait to try them.

      Yes, I think that should work! I haven’t actually tried that substitution, but I believe it would work just fine. You’ll have to let me know how it turns out! Enjoy the recipe, Linda! 🙂
