Full of wholesome ingredients, they turn traditional brownies into a powerhouse of goodness without compromising taste.  In fact,they are more like a quality energy bar in nutrient value than anything else and would work well as a loaded breakfast bite on-the-go.
This has to be one of the best no bake brownie recipes EVER. I have been making these for years. Fudgy, decadent, moist, whole food based and healthy.
A healthier, raw version of your classic brownie recipes. They are made with plant-based ingredients that can be eaten raw as there are no eggs, butter or refined white flour in them. 
You need only 9 ingredients AND they are gluten free, dairy free, grain free, paleo, vegan, and egg free and DELICIOUS.
No bake date brownies made with minimal wholesome ingredients. Easy to make, fudgy, and topped with cream cheese and yogurt frosting are a rich and decadent dessert or treat. They truly take standard brownies to the next level.
The recipe is very simple, only using a handful of wholefood ingredients but packed with healthy fats, fiber and protein and naturally sweetened with dates and honey! The fudginess of the homemade brownies is boosted by the BEST rich, creamy chocolate brownie frosting that is made from scratch!
And best of all this recipe is easily customizable. I like mine with chopped walnuts in the brownie base, but you can leave them out or add chocolate or white chocolate chips (or any number of other mix-ins).
Or add some colorful sprinkles on top to make them birthday brownies for someone special who prefers brownies to cake! They are a healthy snack or dessert, perfect for kids and a great alternative to store-bought chocolate candy.
These “perfect treat” brownies are fudgy and sweet and the frosting adds such a wonderful flavour. You could say they are a little bit (no, a whole lot) healthy and a whole lot of yumminess.
These brownies are fully adaptable which means that you can substitute whatever nut or fruit filling you wish.  Play around with different combinations and see what suits you best.  You will simply want to be mindful of the dry to wet ratios to ensure that the brownie base sticks together.
Because these brownies are highly concentrated in nutrients, a small square goes a long way.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 1/2 cups almonds or walnuts
  • 1 1/2 cups dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
  • 1 cup dried fruit, cherries, cranberries
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1 8 oz block full fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Brownie Base

  • Line a 5 x 7-inch loaf or baking pan or dish with parchment or wax paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.
    In a food processor combine almonds, dates, dried fruit, coconut, cocoa powder and coconut oil.  Process until the brownie mixture is well blended (you need to still see flecks of nuts to give texture variance and different sized ‘bits’ in your brownie base).   
    The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed between your fingers. 
    Scoop the brownie mixture into the pan and spread out evenly. Place in fridge or freezer while you make the cream cheese frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to stand mixer  and beat on medium speed for a few minutes,or until its smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
    Spread frosting over brownie layer, spreading it out to distribute evenly.
    Place pan in freezer for about 45 minutes to one hour until mixture has set.
    Remove pan from freezer and, using both sides of wax or parchment paper, pull brownie slab out of the pan. Cut into 16 bars or more smaller squares depending on your size preference.
    Notes: These brownies do best stored in the freezer.  You can eat them right from the freezer as well as they will never freeze solid.  Let them thaw a little for 5 minutes or so to soften before eating.
