Chocolate And Date Fudge Brownies
These days everyone wants Bill Granger in their kitchen proclaims Sydney morning Herald. And I don’t blame them. This widely known Aussie chef has grown and matured into this masterful writer and creator of recipes that are starting to look healthier, wholesome and very interesting over the years. Bill learnt to cook at home in a dometic environment and hence his take on recipes is homemade indeed. The food he writes about is everyday stuff that you would whip up for your family. His latest book Feed Me Now is a wonderful resource of easy to make and healthy options. I have been trying out a couple of recipes from this lovely cookbook. Today i am sharing a sweet recipe from the pages. I call it Chocolate And Date Fudge Brownies. I accidentally doubled the quantity of baking powder and it was so fudgy and dense. I have made two batches in the past week alone. It is quite light because the sweetness comes from dates, keeping the sugar content less and goes down well with a delicious cup of frothy, creamy coffee.

These look great, though to be honest I am not really a fan of Bill Grainger, maybe this will change my mind! I love the inclusion of dates, sounds like it would be wonderfully decadent with prunes too.
