Fudgy, no-bake, raw vegan brownies are unmatched in flavor, ingredients, and deliciousness. Imagine eating a dessert without added sugars, dairy, or gluten. It just doesn’t happen that often! Although not entirely guilt-free, these raw vegan brownies take minutes to blend in the food processor. Simply spread them in a pan, place in the freezer to harden, and remove to enjoy chocolatey, brownie goodness with no refined sugar.

It’s hard to put out a pan full of brownies and not turn some heads. Most people have to resist eating the entire tray at first glance. There is a delicate dance in place, a knowing that eating a couple is fine, eating the entire tray is problematic. The great thing about these raw brownies is that they they contain healthy fats, fiber, protein, and other nutrients that promote satiety. Because they are richer in calories, you do not want to eat a ton. For example, this recipe yields an 8″x8″ pan, which you cut into 16 pieces. Each brownie has about 150 calories, due to the pecans, almonds, dates, and sesame seeds. Just keep that in mind when you reach for a square.

In order to make brownies, you need chocolate, but not the type you are thinking of. There is not processed chocolate powder mix in this recipe! This recipe calls for 100% raw cacao powder, which you should not confuse with cocoa powder. Cacao powder has powerful nutritional benefits and no added sugars, which cocoa powder tends to contain. That is a general rule of thumb with raw vegan recipes that call for chocolate, though. Always opt for raw cacao powder!

There’s nothing quite like biting into a gooey, fudgy brownie with a rich chocolatey flavor. It’s the ultimate dessert, and this recipe happens to contain impressive nutrients. The walnuts, which give these brownies texture and body, offer omega-3 fatty acids, copper, manganese, and they have a low-glycemic index. Essentially, this helps to prevent blood sugar levels from spiking. We aren’t saying that you should go overboard and eat the whole brownie tray, but you can enjoy a brownie square guilt-free.

There is one distinction when it comes to the ingredient list. Raw cacao powder is not the same thing as cocoa powder. The difference comes down to the heat. One is not spicier than the other; rather, cocoa powder is processed at much higher temperatures and typically contains sugar and dairy. Cacao powder comes from fermented cacao beans that do not undergo roasting. The result is a bitter powder that has an impressive nutritional profile. Both start out as beans from the cacao plant, but they part ways after harvest.

Before you make the recipe, make sure to purchase desiccated coconut, not shredded coconut in the bakery aisle at a store. Shredded coconut often contains added sugars and processed ingredients. Desiccated, or dried, coconut is dehydrated coconut. There are not excess sugars or processed ingredient involved with that process. You can chop it up finely and top your brownies. Not only does this add a nutty flavor and textural element, but it also gives the brownies a more enticing look.

Energy bites are taking the world by storm, and they’re especially beneficial if you’re cleansing. These balls of raw vegan deliciousness are truly some of the best on-the-go snacks you can have during a cleanse. All you need is one or two to keep you fueled and energized between your meals. We just have one warning, and it’s to not overdo it with these snacks. Sure, they are nutritious, filling, and rich in heart-healthy fats, but eating too many can dramatically increase your caloric intake for the day. We always encourage people to eat until they are full during a cleanse, but gorging on nut-based snacks is not beneficial, especially if weight loss is your goal.

These mint brownie balls only contain five simple ingredients. Not a single ingredient contains added sugars or flavors. We’re working with the natural stuff! The inherent sweetness of the dates balances the rich intensity of the raw cacao powder. And although you only use a little, the fresh mint truly rounds out the snack. It’s like eating the perfect mint chocolate dessert, only it’s incredible healthy. Bust out the food processor and get ready to blend! Hopefully, you don’t eat them as quickly as you make them. Enjoy!

When you are on a raw vegan diet, making your own almond milk is a frequent occurrence. What do you do with the leftover almond pulp after you make almond milk, though? Most people chuck it in the trash and never think about it again, but you can use this almond pulp in a variety of recipes, like these raw brownies.

Snacking may be one of the greatest pastimes, but it can do the body more harm than good. Most snack items are filled with hydrogenated oils, processed sugars, dyes, flavorings, and excess sodium, but not these brownie bites. These bites provide you with a lot of protein and healthy fats, which help to keep you full between meals.

National Brownie Day is a day to indulge in one of America’s favorite baked goods. This classic bake sale item is a cross between a cookie and a cake and with so many kinds of brownies (blonde, chocolate, fudge, maple, or layered), it can be hard to figure out which ones you want to eat. It’s a good thing we have some delicious recipes for you in this article. But first…A brief history of the brownie.

A History, In Brief

Brownies were the brainchild of some brilliant chef in the late 1800s. What made this man create such an infamous baked good? Well, he was requested to make a dessert for ladies, who wanted a small cake-like dessert that could be eaten as part of a boxed lunch, attending a fair in Chicago. The chef, who worked at the Palmer House Hotel, created the brownie with an apricot glaze and walnuts. The Palmer House Hotel serves that same recipe to this day.

How To Celebrate

To be honest, the best way to celebrate this magical day is to enjoy an even more magical dessert. Rather than buying a box of brownie mix, which contains who knows what chemically processed ingredients, let’s change up the game and make some brownie-inspired recipes from scratch. Try making one of the following recipes and let us know how you like it.
