Sugar Free Date and Pecan Brownies

It’s January and everyone is trying to eat a little healthier, even me!  I decided to try my hand at some sugar-free eggless baking with these brownies. They’re sweetened with dates and I used yogurt and Once Upon a Farm apple and kale purée as a good egg substitute! These sugar-free date and pecan brownies have an amazing cakey texture and the pieces of pecans and chocolate just make these brownies SO.DAMN.GOOD!

P.S I think these would be amazing with a scoop of ice cream right out of the oven!
