Description

5 Ingredient Raw Vegan Brownies (No Bake, GF): this no bake healthy raw brownies recipe is so easy to make! It’s the best raw brownie – gluten-free, no added sugar, and deliciously unbaked! Refined Sugar-Free, V, GF, Dairy-Free.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 11 Medjool dates, pitted (3/4 cup, packed)
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted, natural raw creamy almond butter
  • ½ cup unsalted, raw almonds
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon raw organic vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside. Clear some room in the freezer for this pan, you will need it later.
  2. Add dates and almond butter to a food processor. Blend until you get a somewhat cohesive, sticky mixture, like chunks of dough–the mixture should begin to pull away from the sides of the processor and roll into a ball. This will take about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the processor frequently, and take breaks in between to avoid overheating.
  3. Add in the almonds. Blend until almonds are nearly pulverized—about 1-2 minutes. Take breaks between blending to prevent overheating the processor. The mixture will be soft and crumbly. It’s done when you can roll a chunk in your palm and toss the chunk up in the air a bit, and it remains cohesive.
  4. Add cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt (if using). Blend until very well incorporated, making sure to scrape down the sides of the processor regularly.
  5. Pour into prepared baking pan and loosely spread into an even layer. Once evenly distributed, use a rubber spatula to press down very firmly into an even, tightly-packed layer. Chill in the freezer for 20 mins, or until very firm.
  6. Slice into 16 brownies. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

    Hi,

    So these sound delicious! I’m trying to eat clean, however, I have a nut allergy. Could you sub sunbutter for the almond butter? And what could I sub for almonds?

    Thanks so much for sharing!

      Hi Stephanie, you can try the sun butter for the AB, and perhaps sunflower seeds for the almonds. Good luck!

    Hi, can you use peanut butter instead of almond butter? (We currently don’t have almond butter).
    Looking forward to try this!

    Hello!

    I would really like to know where you find raw almond butter that’s not so expensive? Do you just make it at home, or is there an affordable brand to buy? So far, my family has only been able to find roasted almond butter for an affordable price at Costco (only ingredients are roasted almonds), which is much better than the ones containing oil and sugar, but raw almond butter would be wonderful!

    These brownies look absolutely delicious by the way, and I cannot wait to try them!

      Hi Ellie! My tips on finding inexpensive almond butter: 1) make your own homemade almond butter and use raw almonds that you bought in bulk online (it’s like half the price). It’s definitely so much cheaper! 2) buy almond butter at Whole Foods (at the bulk section) or Trader Joe’s. The recipe: I hope you get to try them and let me know what you think! 🙂

    I didnt have the right dates (I had smaller ones) so I attempted to compensate by adding more. I also used peanut butter instead of almond butter. The mixture ended up too crumbly so I had the idea of adding half a semi-frozen banana and it worked wonders! I added chocolate chips and love these brownies!

    Demeter, these are fabulous! I’ve had other raw brownies, but with a different texture. This is moist and very close to seeming like it was baked—I’m not sure I would have picked up on them being raw brownies. A lot of other recipes use walnuts, which are okay and healthy, but not my favorite. And none use almond butter. So good, so easy to make. Your directions were perfect. My only tweak was to place cacao nibs on them for decoration and added nutrition and crunch.

      Thanks so much, Ellen!! 🙂 I love that you could barely even tell that they’re no bake–what a true delight, right? (No oven work with all the results hehe). It’s great to hear that my directions worked for you because this recipe can be tricky. Love your addition of cacao nibs! Thank you for always taking the time to let me know your thoughts. ❤️
