Ingredients You Need for No-Bake Brownies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
How to Prepare No-Bake Brownies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Place walnuts in a food processor and grind for a couple seconds to form a coarse flour.
- While machine is running, add pitted dates, cacao powder and salt, processing until a moist, crumb- like dough has formed.
- 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.
- Spread the crumbs into an 8×8 inch pan, sprinkle with cacao nibs, and press firmly into a solid brownie layer.
- Cut into bite-size squares.
Notes
Variation: Replace or add to the cacao nibs with hemp seeds, goji berries, or other superfoods.
