Description

These Raw Brownies are a delightful vegan and gluten-free treat that combines wholesome ingredients like walnuts, dates, and cacao powder into a fudgy, no-bake dessert. Ready in just 10 minutes with minimal prep, they’re perfect for a healthy snack or guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Raw Brownies Ingredients

  • 1½ cups walnuts
  • 7-8 small dates
  • ¼ cup cacao powder
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1½ tbsp coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ tsp vanilla powder or essence

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: If you have a food processor, place all ingredients into it and blend until a sticky dough forms. This step ensures that the nuts and dates combine evenly to create the brownie base.
  2. Alternative Mixing Method: If you don’t have a food processor, add the walnuts to a blender and process until they form a fine flour. Blend the dates separately until broken into small pieces. Then, combine the walnut flour, date pieces, and all other ingredients in a mixing bowl, mixing thoroughly with your hands until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Shape the Brownies: Scoop the mixture into a square or rectangular plastic tupperware approximately 10-15cm wide. Press it down firmly with your fingers to create an even layer, then score the surface into small squares or rectangles using a flat knife. This scoring makes it easier to cut and serve after freezing.
  4. Freeze to Set: Place the container in the freezer for 1-2 hours to allow the brownies to firm up. This chilling step is crucial to achieving the perfect texture for these raw brownies.
  5. Serve and Store: Once set, use a flat knife to pry the brownies from the container and enjoy. Any leftovers should be stored in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute walnuts with other nuts like pecans or almonds if desired.
  • Ensure the dates are soft; if they’re dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before blending.
  • Use organic cacao powder for the best flavor and health benefits.
  • Keep the brownies stored in the freezer to prevent melting from the coconut oil.
  • This recipe is naturally sweetened with dates, making it a healthier dessert option.
