Raw Vegan Fudge Brownies
Newsflash: delicious desserts don’t need to be environmentally unfriendly, fatty, sugar laden, and calorie intensive to be delicious. There are decadent alternatives that don’t involve 100 calorie crap packs full of artificial sweeteners and other indecipherable ingredients. I’ve put together an easy, fast, drool worthy, RAW brownie recipe that’s free of dairy, eggs, gluten, and refined sugars! Who doesn’t love brownies… and who thought that brownies could be… healthy?!?The raw cocoa used heavily in this recipe provides a hard hit of cancer fighting and age defying anti-oxidants, along with satisfying your chocolate craving without blowing your beach body plans to crap. Also, these brownies are chock full of protein, with the almond butter and the walnuts and almonds in the base. So indulge without the bulge, or the guilt!

Post a Commentcan't wait to try out this vegan recipe!
Although I know some vegans do choose to eat honey, it is an animal product. Agave nectar might be a good substitute though.
Yeah I was confused by honey being an ingredient. These look delicious though! I like maple syrup as a sweetener.
I wonder how these compare to the ones made with black beans...they picture looks really good though
I made some of these yesterday and let them set overnight in the fridge. They are so yummy! I didn't use almond butter for the topping, I just put a few extra almonds into the mix.
I'm confused. I got here from a slide show and this looks to be the same recipe as the No-Bake Banana Chocolate Almond Squares that was in the same slide show but different picture... Is this the correct recipe?
Ciris : The ingredients are slightly different. LIke the bottom crust doesn't have banana in it like in the banana chocolate almond squares, and this calls for walnuts and almonds instead of just walnuts. Also it calls for cocoa powder instead of cacao.
Although I agree, they are similar. Definitely taste different.
I made this yesterday, put in the fridge overnite and tried it today. Overall very yummy and knowing it's all healthy is fantastic! For me there are too many dates, and I used a too ripe banana and definitely not enough chocolate (i really wanted a more chocolaty flavor
). I do
love dates and bananas though and am enjoying all the flavor layers in this recipe, but definitely will use more chocolate (and melt it first) next time. I used an 8x8 pan - at first i used a
larger pan, but the bottom layer was just spread too thin so switched to the smaller one and they look exactly like the photo! Thank you very much for the recipe!
vegetarian recipe ... to be vegan you would need to use something besides honey.
