Cherry Chip Brownies

1/2 cup packed pitted dates
1/2 cup packed pitted prunes
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup carob or cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup extra virgin oil, I use safflower or coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup non-hydrogenated malt-sweetened carob chips or chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried pitted cherries

Place water, dates and prunes into a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for one minutes. Let soak while assembling the rest of the ingredients (I soaked mine overnight). Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9 X 9 pan or one large mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Put all of the wet ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Stir wet and dry ingredients together and foldin the nuts, chips and cherries. Spread in pan or muffin pan and bake for 30 minutes or less for the muffins (about 15).

Did you know that carob powder is 75% fiber? Prunes are very high in fiber as are dates. So the little bit of sugar from the fruits and syrup is easily offset by all the fiber in the whole grain flours and fruits. Just don't eat too many - as always - eat in moderation.
