They sound delicious, but with applesauce, cherries and bananas, they are hardly sugar-free.
Well at least there is no white sugar in them, that was what I meant!:)
Yeah, they should call them "sucrose-free."
I think I'd add 1/2 c. flour, some baking powder and either walnuts or almonds to that recipe. Then they'd really be cookies.
Thanks for that recipe! It doesn't have any flour, which makes it gluten-free...the only types of cookies DH and I can eat!
This is probably the tastiest and easiest healthy treat I've made:

I have modified it a little - I use 1 c ground walnuts, about 1/4 c flax meal, 2 c whole, pitted dates, a scant 1/2 c cocoa, and a pinch of salt.
Everyone in my family loves these, and they are remarkably brownie-like!
I just tried the recipe, Rosemary. I made it using my Vitamix high-powered blender, instead of a food processor. I started on Variable 1 and slowly increased to Variable 3 setting, adding the unsulphured, pitted Medjool dates one at a time, and it worked just fine. They are delicious! I cut them into 1/2" thick, 1 1/2" squares and wrapped them individually in plastic wrap, then froze them in a sealed plastic container. Using the nutritional information on the packages for the ingredients, I was able to determine that 1 raw brownie contains approximately 15g carbohydrates.
Wow! All the fantabulous ideas!!! Thank you everybody!
I am really excited to try that Rosemary! I am on South Beach, and that is SB friendly! Her raspberry cheesecake recipe looks amazing also
