What You'll Need

1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons honey
1 (8-ounce) package pitted whole dates, chopped
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon canola oil

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, and honey. Stir in the dates; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. In another bowl, combine applesauce, syrup, egg whites, and oil. Add applesauce mixture to the flour mixture.
Beat with an electric mixer until just combined (mixture will be crumbly). Stir in the date mixture. Spoon batter into the prepared pan; press evenly into pan with fingers or back of spoon.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
