This twist on an old favourite is not only high in protein and fibre but also delicious!
Although this is a high protein, high fibre alternative to a traditional brownie, remember that it is still high in energy and sugar due to the dates! Cut into small, bite-sized pieces to enjoy and use this recipe as a treat rather than an everyday snack!
