No, no. The great news is here! (Oh, oh! And flourless!)
Now you can have all a brownie that won’t make you feel guilty, won’t add pounds to that frame, won’t tell you any nutritional lies. The only lies this brownie may insinuate is that it’s filled with sugar, flour, blah! Nope. It’s just pretty damn good… and healthy!

Flourless Primal Pumpkin Almond Brownies
Makes 12 decently sized brownies. (Can you eat just one? I couldn’t…)
1 cup pumpkin puree, or other squash, canned or steamed
1/2 cup raw cacao powder, or unsweetened cocoa powder
1 egg
1/4 cup honey
4-5 dates, soaked in hot water for 1 minute to soften
1 tsp baking soda
dash of sea salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing well and making sure to mash the dates until only small chunks are left.
Grease an 8×8 glass Pyrex baking dish with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Pour your brownie batter into the baking dish making sure batter is evenly and smooth.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
