How to Prepare No-Bake Brownies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Place walnuts in a food processor and grind for a couple seconds to form a coarse flour.
  2. While machine is running, add pitted dates, cacao powder and salt, processing until a moist, crumb- like dough has formed.
  3. Depending on the natural moisture of the dates, you may need to add a touch of water – a teaspoon at a time – to get the crumbs to “stick” when pinched together.
  4. Spread the crumbs into an 8×8 inch pan, sprinkle with cacao nibs, and press firmly into a solid brownie layer.
  5. Cut into bite-size squares.

Notes

Variation: Replace or add to the cacao nibs with hemp seeds, goji berries, or other superfoods.

  1. I became a vegan 3 weeks ago today and am desperately missing some treats so it looks like I’ll be making your brownies today.

    Where do I find cacao nibs?
