I’ve been seeing a few recipes for raw brownies floating around and each time I see them thinking…. “I really must try these out”. Last Monday morning was the time, for some reason I woke up full of cooking inspiration and whislt the toddler ate her porridge I knocked these up – they literally took that little time to make.
I was pleasantly suprised with the result and took them round to my friend Steph to try. They really are a chocolate substitute! Very rich, very nutty but gooey and satisfying.

Instructions
- Soak the dates in warm water for 30 minutes, drain and process with the nuts plus the 1/4 cup cocoa powder.

- Mix the remaining ngredients together to make the topping and spoon over the base layer.
- Freeze for 30 minutes, cut into small squares (you really don’t need much of this).
- Eat and refreeze or fridge what you don’t eat.
Hi, these look different! Can you leave out the nut butter (ie fat)/? Are they really that nice? xxx
They actually are nice, though I find them quite rich. 1 tsp at a time is enough for me, but I’m not that into rich food. I don’t think they would work without the nut butter, I guess coconut oil may work.
I like the idea of healthier baking. Will have to give these a try but will use golden syrup instead of honey when making these for my vegan friend 🙂
Hope they went well!
