Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup oats, gluten-free
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Blend Dates and Walnuts: In a food processor, combine the pitted dates and walnuts. Blend them until they are finely chopped and form a coarse, crumbly mixture.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the gluten-free oats, cocoa powder, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Blend again until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together well.
- Press Into Pan: Transfer the mixture into an 8×8 inch pan. Press it down evenly and firmly to create an even layer, ensuring the brownies will hold their shape once set.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This step allows the mixture to firm up and develop a fudgy texture, making it easier to cut.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the brownies from the fridge. Cut into squares and enjoy your healthy, no bake vegan brownies.
Notes
- To get the best texture, make sure the dates are soft; if not, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before blending.
- Use a food processor for even blending and best results.
- Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or almonds for a different flavor.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more almond butter or a splash of plant-based milk.
