NOTES

– YOU COULD USE DATES INSTEAD OF PRUNES

– TO MAKE THIS RECIPE NUT FREE, YOU COULD USE PEPITAS/SUNFLOWER SEEDS OR OATS ETC INSTEAD OF WALNUTS, I USED SMOOTH PEANUT BUTTER (100% NUTS, NO ADDED NASTY INGREDIENTS) BUT YOU COULD USE TAHINI/SUNFLOWER SEED BUTTER ETC

– YOU COULD ADD IN GOJI BERRIES/CACAO NIBS/CHIA SEEDS/PROTEIN POWDER/MACA POWDER ETC TO THE BROWNIE FOR ADDED NUTRIENTS
