Time to kick the sugar habit: Delicious NO-SUGAR-ADDED brownies

in #sugarfreebrownies7 years ago (edited)

Hi Steemians! This is my first post and I am very happy to share it with you.
One of my healthy living goals for my family this year was to cut back on the amount of sugar we consume. Sugar consumption has been in the news recently because we eat a lot of it! And the consensus is that it is definitely not good for us!
I know. You are thinking, “Aw, come on! We can’t completely deprive ourselves of sweet treats!”
So today I would like to share with you one of my delicious NO-SUGAR-ADDED recipes.
I have read lots about benefits of Date fruit.
Dates are very good to eat. They are delicious and nutritious “Apart from the delightful flavor, they are incredibly healthy and confer a tremendous amount of health benefits on your body. They are a rich source of healthy fiber, minerals, and vitamins and can help relieve painful constipation, diarrhea, and other intestinal complaints.”(Health Focus)
For me date palm is not only a fruit, I use it as a natural sweetener. So I put it in my cakes, smoothies, Chocolate Pudding, whole meal granola bars..
Here’s one of my family favorite sweet treat:
Walnut Brownies.
