• 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 cup date sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 cups water
• 2 - 2 1/2 jars prune baby food
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• Vegetable oil for greasing pan

Preheat oven to 350º. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Whisk together water, prune baby food, maple syrup, vinegar and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and stir just to mix. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before cutting into 3 x 3 inch squares.
