Brownies

For Papa's birthday we made lentil and date brownies with coconut whipped cream. Kodah pitted the dates and helped to measure out the ingredients (and lick the bowl clean:). 

Brownies:

• 3 cups black lentils, cooked (or 2 15 ounce cans, drained and rinsed)
• 4 tablespoon cashew butter
• 11⁄2 cups dates
• 1⁄3 - 1⁄2 cup cacao powder (depending on how rich you want them)
• 1⁄2 cup apple sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
•  1 tablespoon honey 

Icing: 

• 1  can coconut cream
• 1/2 cup icing/powdered sugar 
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
