They take 5 minutes to prepare and can be raw, gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and vegan. But more importantly, they taste like something like the cross between a brownie and a chocolate bar!

Ultimate Unbaked Brownies (Vegan, Dairy & Gluten-Free)
Ingredients
Loosely packed pitted dates – 2½ cups
Walnuts – 1 1/2 cups
Cacao or cocoa powder – 6 tbsp
Pure vanilla extract – 1 1/2 tsp
Water – 2 tsp
1/4 + 1/8 tsp salt
Cacao or cocoa powder – 1/4 cup
Pure maple syrup (or raw agave) – ¼ cup
Vegetable or melted coconut oil – 2 tbsp
Pure vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp
Instructions
Combine the dates, walnuts, 6 tbsp cocoa, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, water, and salt in a food processor. Process until completely smooth, scraping down as needed – It may seem dry at first, but don’t add any extra water.
Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan, or line the pan with parchment or wax paper. Transfer dough to pan and press very firmly until dough is evenly distributed in the pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine remaining cocoa and vanilla extract with the maple syrup and oil. Stir until mixture forms a paste (this is the frosting). Spread evenly over dough in the baking pan.
Refrigerate brownies for at least 2 hours, to set. Leftovers can stay covered at room temperature for a day, or up to 2 weeks in the fridge, or 1-2 months in the freezer.
Wow awesome, my wife and I have been doing the ketogenic diet for about 4 months now. I have lost about 30 lbs. We are always looking for new recipes. She knows more about it then I do, but I think this will work.
Enjoy :-) You will not be disappointed
I guess it doesn't work for ketogenic, can't have dates or syrup. That sucks lol
Oh what a shame
Dates are a great substitute for processed sugar. I usually use them in smoothies. Great recipe!
