Nobody can bake cake without flour, without sugar or without butter. Can they? Well, I found this recipe for Date Brownies with Black Pepper in Saturday’s Guardian, and let me tell you, they’re a very bright idea. Not pretty, not at all. But who cares when they taste so good?

Sounds very interesting, who cares about the looks.

Oh I think they look fine and very similar to regular brownies. They probably taste a lot more interesting than the purely mega sweet traditional recipes. I think using dates is a smart move, but I am surprised at the olive oil for the fat as opposed to say rapeseed oil.

I know. I DID use olive oil, but I think rapeseed would have delivered too.

I love dates but I don’t own a food processor 😦 😦 Can I come to yours?

I don’t own a food processor either. The dates just more or less fell apart. Are you vaccinated now??

Not jumping out at me and shouting “Eat Me” – I guess the dates give them the sweetness. When my children were young I regularly made flapjacks and a date layer bar for their lunch boxes. It’s a wonder they have any teeth!

If I offered you a piece, I don’t think you’d even realise they contained dates. It just makes the sweetness more subtle.
