Yum yum! I used about 15 dates also, once I finally found them - my regular grocery store didn't have them. Kids liked them too, yay! Made for PAC Spring '12.

Ok, I tried this recipe as written (using 1/2 cup cocoa) only I mixed it in my Vitamix blender. I forgot how loud it is to mix dates. The recipe was really good. Love the texture. I frost by mixing semisweet chocolate chips with some whipping cream. Then I tried this with a slight variation: 15 dates, 1 TBS oil, and 1/2 cup applesauce.
My kids love both. DH prefers with applesauce. I prefer without. Again I frosted these with semisweet choc. chips and whipping cream.

These were great! I had to try them because I just couldn't believe you could make brownies without flour! I made them three times, and the first time, I used an oil substitute, trying to really change them to ultra-healthy brownies. They were sweet but the consistency was not quite right. The second time, I used a 1/2 cup of applesauce (a kid's snack pack) in place of the oil, half the dates (about 10), and added 1/2 cup cocoa powder, and then threw some mini baking chocolate chips on top. The consistency was just right, but it needed to be a little sweeter. The third time, I increased dates to 15, and left the cocoa and applesauce at 1/2 cup each and they were awesome!. I think nuts would be a great addition, too. Thanks for the recipe!
