Salted Caramel Blondies with Chocolate Chips

First, ensure your pitted Medjool dates have been soaked in hot water for at least 20-30 minutes. Once softened, blend the dates with 1/4 cup of water until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the blended date mixture with the vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, applesauce, nut milk, tahini, almond flour, oat flour, and chocolate chips. Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Pour the batter into a baking dish (approx. 8x8 inch). Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 21-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
