These easy homemade Fudgy No-Bake Brownies are a healthy tasty treat. Made from scratch, you won't want a box mix after having these!
Being a food blogger, it's funny how some recipes can get you really excited, while others you put off until the last minute. I was really excited to make these Fudgy No-Bake Brownies.
Not only do I love chocolate, but I love brownies. Being the no-bake variety, these are really easy to make.
I made these Fudgy No-Bake Brownies many years ago with slightly different ingredients, so I knew I would like them. I was eating a raw vegan diet at the time. These are sweet, rich, and addictive.
Another brownie recipe that is safe to eat raw is my Edible Vegan Brownie Batter. You don't have to heat treat the flour because it is made with almond flour.
Instructions
Brownies: Mix the cacao powder, almond flour, and ½ cup of the walnuts in a food processor until it resembles a course flour.
After all the ingredients come together in a ball, add the leftover ¼ cup walnuts and pulse so that you have chunks of walnuts in the brownies.

Tips
- If your dates have hardened, soak them in hot water before adding them to the mixture.
- Mix the brownie ingredients until they form a ball. That ensures the mixture will be a moist ooey-gooey consistency. Then add the second portion of walnuts so that there are some crunchy bits.
- Line your baking dish with plastic wrap to get the brownies out easier.
- Store brownies in the refrigerator. The frosting has coconut oil, so it melts at room temperature.
- Change up the recipe to include your favorite nuts. Add coconut flakes for flavor and texture.

I love these Pyrex baking dishes! I used a 7 ½" x 9 ½" baking dish for this recipe. It's great because it comes with a cover, so I can put it in the fridge.
