When the chocolate cravings strike, sometimes we need to act fast.

And sometimes, we don’t feel like spending 30 + minutes in the kitchen baking, messing with flour and remembering when to take “said treat” out of the oven on time (what smells like burning!?).

Then of course, there’s the issue of trying to eat healthier while satisfying that sweet tooth of yours.

In my humble opinion, eating healthy does not equal perfection, nor does it mean that we can throw all conscious effort to the wind and say “eff-it” every Friday night. Eating healthy and transitioning to wise plant-based food choices is all about finding delicious alternatives you can enjoy while playing it smart.

Which brings me to the ultimate fix for any chocolate addict…these amazing vegan brownies!!! ♥

These flourless vegan brownies are just like chocolate heaven! Completely gluten-free, you don't have to worry about baking either- whip these brownies up in only 15 minutes and get your chocolate fix. You can thank me later. #flourlessveganbrownies #flourlessvegandesserts #glutenfreeveganbrownies #veganbrownies #veganbrownieshealthy #veganbrownieseasy #bohemianvegankitchen

These no-bake vegan brownies are guilt-free

Forget the flour.

Forget baking and WAITING and cooling times.

Forget any and all animal products, like dairy and eggs (you don’t need them!).

And forget feeling guilty because you indulged in something you love. There’s no need to feel bad about brownies like these!

And why even feel guilty with good-for-you ingredients?

Walnuts, pecans, and raw chocolate all help bind this baby together, giving you that “fudge-y” texture and flavor, but without the fuss of flour. Cacao, which was also considered the drink of the Gods by the Incas, is one of the highest forms of magnesium, plus contains FOUR TIMES the antioxidants of regular dark chocolate.

All you need is 15 minutes (from start to finish!).

So what are you waiting for!? 🙂

Course Dessert
Servings 25 bite-sized brownies
Calories 98 kcal

Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients
 

Base:

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup packed *pitted* dates approx. 20 dates
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ cup raw cacao powder or cocoa powder

Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Add all brownie base ingredients to a food processor, and run until mixture pulls away from the sides and a "dough" begins to form.
  • Empty contents into an 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Press/pull brownie mixture to the edges of the pan. This can be done easily by placing a sheet of parchment paper on top of the mixture, and then pressing on top with your hands (this prevents you from getting your hands covered in chocolate too!).
  • Next, make the icing: add all icing ingredients to your food processor (no need to rinse– just makes sure there aren't pieces leftover from the brownie base) and run until smooth and thick. TIP: If icing seems too runny, add a touch more powdered sugar. If it seems too dry, add a splash of almond milk. Pour on top of brownies and spread evenly across the pan.
  • Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to set. Once chilled, cut into bite-sized squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Worried about sugar? Skip the icing and eat the brownie “batter” all on it’s own– I promise you it will still taste amazing!
  • These no bake brownies will keep refrigerated in an air-tight container for up to 7 days.

    These look fantastic. I use to bake replacing butter with dates all the time and it works very well. I am sure these are moist and chewy and delish. I really like the thought that you can have these without baking.
