Recipe makes 9.
 

Ingredients:

• 1 medium banana (the spottier the better)
• ¼ cup almond butter
• 2 dates
• 7 prunes
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil
• ⅓ cup applesauce
• ½ cup pureed pumpkin
• ½ cup almond meal or flour
• ½ cup teff flour
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• ½ cup cocoa
• ½ tbsp. cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, add the first 8 ingredients. Process on high until all ingredients are incorporated. Add all additional ingredients to the food processor. Process on high until a uniform, thick dough forms. Fill nine silicone muffin cups with the dough.
 
Bake the brownies for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin cups. These are equally delicious either with frosting or plain. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
