Fudgy No-Bake Brownies | Free of grains, gluten, dairy, and refined sugarBrownies are my weakness, especially the ooey, gooey, fudgy ones, which I always enjoy with a tall glass of ice-cold almond milk! 

What I love about these, is that they’re no-bake and full of wholesome ingredients, yet still indulgent and delicious. You can leave them plain or top with your favorite flavors. Speaking of which, freeze dried berries are my new favorite thing! Love that you can get that delicious berry flavor anytime, no matter what season you’re in…plus they just add the prettiest pop of color! 

Fudgy No-Bake Brownies | Free of grains, gluten, dairy, and refined sugarThis fudgy no-bake brownie mixture is practically 3 ingredients, not including salt and water. It’s super simple to whip up too, just blend it together in the food processor and you have instant brownies! 

I love the addition of the creamy ganache too, because HELLO, chocolate on chocolate is the bomb, plus it totally adds to that fudge factor that many of us can’t get enough of.

Description

These no-bake brownies are easy to make and full of wholesome ingredients. Easily customizable and free of gluten, grains, dairy, and refined sugar (depending on which ganache you use).

Ingredients

Scale

No-Bake Brownies:

  • 2 1/2 cups walnuts
  • 2 1/2 cups pitted dates
  • 1/2–3/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder, to taste – I use Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa
  • generous pinch of salt
  • 1–2 tablespoons brewed coffee or water, just enough for mixture to hold together
  • ganache
  • optional toppings: crumbled freeze dried raspberries, melted coconut butter (for drizzling), crushed nuts, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, mini chocolate chips, pomegranate arils, flaked sea salt, etc…

Ganache:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chips of use dairy-free chocolate if necessary
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (thick cream, if possible)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, more or less to taste

OR Refined Sugar Free Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup cocoa or cacao powder
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or other liquid sweetener, to taste
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

Brownie:

  1. Combine walnuts and dates in a food processor and blend until mixture is crumbly and no large pieces remain.
  2. Add cocoa powder and pinch of salt, blending just until incorporated. If using a dark cocoa powder, I suggest starting with the lesser amount and adding more, to taste.
  3. Add coffee/water 1 tablespoon at a time, adding just enough to make mixture hold together when pressed.
  4. Line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper and press chocolate mixture evenly into the pan. You can use the flat bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press it firmly into the pan. Set aside.

Ganache:

  1. In a double boiler or in a microwave safe bowl, combine together chocolate chips, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Stir continuously over boiling water until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Alternatively, you can place the heat-safe bowl into the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted and smooth. (For the refined sugar free ganache, no need for a double boiler, just mix all ingredients together in a bowl.)
  2. Pour ganache over the top of the brownies in the pan and use an off-set spatula to spread across evenly.
  3. Top with toppings of your choice or leave plain, cover, and place into the fridge for 25-30 minutes or until ganache is set.
  4. Remove brownies from the pan using the parchment paper and slice. Serve at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

    No bake chocolate brownies turned out beautifully and are squares of fudge, yumminess! Have been feeling so deprived on a strict autoimmune elimination diet with no dairy, almonds, soya, gluten and and… These have cheered me up no end. Thank you.
