Ingredients

• 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 cup turbinado sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg white
• 1/4 cup prune puree
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup oat flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang.

Combine chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water; stir until chocolate has melted. Remove from heat; whisk in sugar, egg, egg white, prune puree, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

In a medium bowl, combine flour and cocoa. Stir into chocolate mixture just until incorporated.

Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until top is firm and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Using foil, lift brownies from pan. Peel off foil. Using a serrated knife, cut into 12 rectangles.
