Made from apples, dates, and oats as the main ingredients, these brownies are much healthier than the sugar-filled white flour ones you think of.

How to Prepare Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Apple Brownies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Make the brownie layer by placing the cooked apples and drained dates into a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients and whizz up until quite thick and smooth.
Spoon out into your prepared pan and smooth out evenly to cover the base.
Now clean out the food processor and place the cookie dough ingredients (apart from the chocolate drops) in and whizz up until quite thick and smooth. Stir in the chocolate drops.
Carefully spoon over the cookie dough in dollops next to each other to cover then gently spread over.
Bake for about 30 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden brown, then remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before cutting into squares.
