Ingredients

1 1/2 cups oats, ground into flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 pears or 1 apple
2 -3 carrots
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds or 2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
2 cups marshmallows
5 -7 dates, soaked in 1 C warm or 5 -7 hot water, for 30 minutes
3/4 - 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 - 1 cup sugar (to taste)
1/2 cup coconut milk or 1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons water

Preparation

Soak dates in 1 C warm water for 30 minutes- 1 hour (optional-can substitute 1/2 C sugar).
Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan (for thinner brownies). For thicker brownies (over 1/2\") use a smaller pan.
Create flax eggs-combining ground flax with 6 T water. Stir and let set for 15 minutes.
In a food processor, combine dates, soaking water, pears, and carrots. Blend until pureed.
In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (cocoa powder, flours, salt, baking soda). Stir to combine and mix in wet ingredients (milk, pureed mixture, vanilla, flax eggs).
Fold in chocolate chips and pour into baking pan.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until middle is mostly set. Top with marshmallows and broil for 1-2 minutes until browned.
Remove and enjoy!
