Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp + 1/2 tsp sunflower or avocado oil, divided
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • About 1 cup pitted dates
  • 2/3 cup no-added-sugar apple butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter without added sugar or salt
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tbsp cacao nibs

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 C. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with 1/2 tsp oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Blend the remaining oil, melted butter, and dates until just combined. Add the apple butter, egg, vanilla, and almond extract and blend again until smooth and pudding-like.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the peanut butter and salt, then fold in the flour and cacao nibs until evenly combined.
  4. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, until springy to the touch.
  5. Cool completely, then cut into 16 squares. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for later.
