No-Bake Vegan Fudge Brownies

No-Bake. Thick. Fudgy. Raw Vegan Fudgy Frosted Brownies.

These are the ultimate raw vegan brownie. Perfect for summer when it is too hot to turn on the oven.  These brownies are super fudgy, rich, and filled with good-for-you superfoods. Look no further, this easy-to-make vegan dessert will satisfy the sweet tooth of even the pickiest eaters.

These healthy brownies are the ultimate treat. Best of all these thick fudgy frosted brownies require no oven and only a food processor to make.

Recently, I overheard someone say “these cookies are good I’m surprised they are gluten-free.” I glanced at the ingredients and quickly noticed they were processed, had tons of ingredients, and were not healthy. Gluten-free does not mean healthy.

When whipping up a treat my goal is always to make it with healthy real food ingredients that are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and so delicious that you would rather eat it than the traditional counterpart. Treats should nourish your body and soul.

• No-bake vegan fudge brownies are made with just five wholesome ingredients
• Simple to make no-bake brownies
• Easily store leftovers in the freezer for a chocolate fix
• Gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free
• paleo-friendly recipe
• Raw vegan treat anyone can enjoy

•  Walnuts: brain food, right in protein, support heart health, bone health, and weight management
• Medjool dates– low glycemic index, support healthy digestion, and are high in antioxidants
• Cacao: aids in digestion, reduced inflammation, good source of copper and manganese
• Avocado: great for skin and hair health, healthy source of fat, high in potassium and nutrients
• Sweetener: any liquid sweetener will work such as honey or maple syrup

• If your dates are too hard soak them in hot water for a few minutes then drain
• Substitute cacao powder for coco powder if needed
• I used Medjool dates in this recipe, but you could use another type, just may need to soak or use a few more depending on the size
• For the frosting, you can use maple syrup, honey, or date syrup to sweeten
• These brownies freeze beautifully and can be stored in the freezer for whenever you need a bite of chocolate
• They can be stored in the fridge but will be softer. I like to store brownies in the freezer and take them out to soften them for a few minutes before eating.
