Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup brown rice flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup carob powder
3/4 cup dates (chopped, lightly packed)
water (enough to fill the spaces between the dates in the measuring cup)
1/3 cup oil
1 -2 tbsp molasses (i recommend unsulphured blackstrap)
1/4 cup water (or aromatic liquid , such as chai , chicory or basmati rice milk)
2 tsp vanilla (you could also replace by some almond extract and add almond slivers to the recipe)
1 tbsp rum (or other alcohol of your choice, such as brandy , amaretto or cointreau)
1 tsp orange zest (optional)
1/3-1/2 cup carob chips (optional)
1/3-1/2 cup hazelnuts , chopped (optional. you could also put almonds, walnuts , pecans , peanuts , macadamia... be inventive!)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease lightly a 8 X8 pan.
Put the dates and the dates' water in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, stirring often.
When the dates look like a paste, remove from the heat.
Put the bottom of the saucepan in cold water.
Sift together in a medium bowl the flours, baking powder, salt and carob.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cooled date paste, oil, molasses, liquid, flavor and alcohol.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ones and stir. If using optional ingredients, mix roughly. If not, mix well.
Add the zest, chips, nuts and combine well.
Pour the batter in your pan and spread it.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
