These 6-ingredient fudgy no-bake brownies are vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and easy to make. They are a healthy snack or dessert, perfect for kids and a great alternative to store-bought chocolate candy.
Healthy Vegan Brownies!
After sharing my recipes for Sweet Potato Brownies and my Best Vegan Brownies, I decided to make these healthy no-bake brownies with dates.
They aren’t fully raw, that’s why I don’t call them raw vegan brownies, but you can actually make them fully raw (continue reading to learn how).
You will love these brownies because they are:
- Easy to make with simple ingredients.
- So much healthier than store-bought brownies or candy bars.
- Freezer friendly, perfect as a snack or quick dessert.
- Vegan (eggless, dairy-free), gluten-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free.
Only 6 Simple Ingredients!
These no-bake brownies contain only 6 ingredients, which are:
- Dates – you can use any dried fruit of choice, e.g. dried figs.
- Flax seeds – these vegan brownies contain a good amount of flax seeds which are good sources of many nutrients. Their health benefits are mainly due to their content of omega-3 fats, lignans and fiber.
- Cacao powder – or use cocoa powder. Dutch processed is less bitter.
- Peanut flour – you can use almond flour (ground almonds) instead of peanut flour to make almond flour brownies. I tried it and it turned out great as well. Actually, any ground nuts or seeds would work as well. Some examples are ground walnuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, etc. However, I really love how these healthy brownies turned out with peanut flour (powdered peanut butter aka PB2), the taste is amazing. You can buy it in most big supermarkets in the US, or order it from Amazon.
- Vanilla extract – you can use real vanilla for the best result.
- Agave syrup – or maple syrup (for the glaze). Any other liquid sweetener like date syrup is fine too.
For the full ingredients list, measurements, complete recipe method, and nutritional information, please read the recipe card below.
How To Make No-Bake Brownies?
- Grind the flax seeds in an electric spice/coffee grinder or blender until it’s flour. You can also use 65 g of store-bought GROUND flax seeds but make sure the flax meal is fresh.
- Process all dry ingredients in a food processor, then add the dates and vanilla extract and blend until the dough sticks together when you press it between your fingers. It might take a while until the dough comes together. If it’s still too dry after some minutes add a few additional dates or a little of maple syrup or raw agave syrup. The dates should be very soft and juicy. If they aren’t moist soak them in warm water until they are soft.
- Line a 5-inch square baking pan or similar size (double the recipe if using an 8-inch baking pan) with parchment paper and leave about a 2-inch overhang on both sides. Grease the paper with a little oil.
- Transfer the brownie dough into the pan and press it down firmly.
- To make the glaze, just combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix everything together with a whisk.
- Pour the glaze over the brownie dough, spread it, and put the pan into the freezer for about 1 hour to firm up.
- Cut the brownies into squares by using a sharp knife, and enjoy!
Low-Fat Vegan Chocolate Glaze
Brownies are delicious, but brownies with a chocolate glaze are even better. I made a super simple and low-fat vegan chocolate glaze which is so delicious!
If you don’t want to make your own chocolate glaze, you can simply melt dairy-free chocolate chips, but they contain of course more fat.
How To Store these brownies?
This recipe makes just a small batch, however, you can double the recipe and store-leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Can you freeze these brownies? Yes, you can! The brownie bites are freezer friendly (freeze for up to 3 months). I always make sure to keep a batch in the freezer, so that I never run out of brownies when the chocolate craving kicks in. Simply thaw them at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- You can make these brownies raw vegan by using raw agave syrup instead of maple syrup, vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract, raw cacao powder instead of cocoa powder and almond flour (ground almonds) instead of peanut flour (powdered peanut butter).
- You can skip the powdered peanut butter in the chocolate glaze and try using 1 1/2 – 2 tbsp of regular peanut butter (or any other nut/seed butter).
- These vegan brownies can be neatly transported in a bento box or lunch box.

Is there anything that can be used in place of the powdered pea nut butter or almond flour to make recipe nut free as well as gluten free ?
Yes, you can use ground sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. 🙂
Have you tried the PB brand powdered peanut butter for these? it has 0 sat, fats. and 0 sugars. tastes great in peanut butter cookies. too. this way your low fat version would be just that.
if there’s one thing I’ve noticed most Vegan Recipes have a lot of Saturated fats. I try to keep mine at the lowest level considering I’m supposed to be on a 0 Saturated fat diet for my cholesterol.. but I do indulge with the most minimum amounts.
hope it taste as great with the PB brand powder.
Thanks for the Recipe. always a FAN!
Hi Ailis! Yes, it’s written in the recipe that I used powdered peanut butter. I am so glad you like my recipes. 🙂
This recipe was the best! Loved it. Turned out so, so great.
Oh my goodness! I honestly wasn’t expecting this to be that good! The only additions I made were to add a splash of coffee extract and a dash of salt. This is a keeper for sure!
So glad they turned out amazing! Love the addition of coffee extract. Thanks for your feedback, Akua. 🙂
Wow! This is one of my new favorites and will definitely be making again!! I used chia seeds since I didn’t have flax but I kept everything else the same. I made my frosting on the thicker side and oh my goodness!!!! That’s the best frosting ever, healthy or not!!! I put my batter in silicone baking cups for easy transport, definitely recommend this recipe
Yay, that’s awesome, Kali! So happy you loved it. 🙂
I made these this evening and they were lovely. I had to add a bit of maple syrup to the mixture though. I used my nutribullit which struggled a little but it still turned out nice.
Glad it turned out nice! Thanks for your feedback, Leyla. 🙂
Finally, a healthy brownie that is actually healthy. So many on the web are not.
Thank you! I am glad you like the recipe. 🙂
Is there a way to leave the dates out completely? I appreciate your hard work. These look amazing!
You can use dried figs instead but you can’t just leave out the main ingredient. 🙂
My results were rather dry. I guess my dates weren’t that soft?
Hey Diane, if the dates aren’t soft/juicy you need to soak them in hot water until they are soft. Then discard the water. 🙂
Ela, these are delicious! The only thing I did a little different was to add some leftover coffee from this morning to the glaze to loosen it up a little bit. Thanks for posting such a yummy one bite treat!
Adding coffee sounds amazing! Good idea, Stacy. 🙂
Hi Ela.. thank you for the great vegan brownies… I’ve made with no maple syrup, but I substituted with honey.
and it was sooooo wonderful!!! Chewy, goey, and really easy to make.. I made this no bake brownies when I had halalbihalal yesterday.. and my family were really love it!!
So glad you liked the recipe, Dian! 🙂
hey! These look so good. How many calories are in the finished result? I can see that you wrote 78kcal but is that per piece or 100 grams or? great work
oh also do you taste the dates much?
Not much, in my opinion. 🙂
Hey! It’s for one brownie bite! Hope this helps. 🙂
Hello Ela.
I have a question, is the dough supposedly thinner than the glaze?
I made this just now and I couldn’t spread the dough to cover 5″ cake mold. I had to use a smaller container even then the spread was really thin when compared to the glaze.
Hello, the recipe makes a fairly small batch, however, the dough was definitely not thinner than the glaze (as you can tell from the photos). I also used a 5-inch mold back then (if I remember well). 🙂 You could double the recipe next time to make them thicker. Hope you liked the taste! 🙂
THESE ARE AMAZING!! I honestly think they’re better than “normal” brownies! And I love the hint of peanut butter. They 1000000% satisfy all my sugar and chocolate cravings. I think I’m always going to need to have some in the freezer at ALL times!
Wonderful! I am so happy you love the recipe! 🙂
Hi Ela ????
Ich hab grad deine Brownies gezaubert und die sind echt sooo gut! Ich habe statt Erdnussmehl Mandelmehl und Mandelmus genommen und es hat super geklappt. Das Rezept wird bei uns jetzt öfter gemacht. Mein Mann ist such ganz begeistert.
Toll, dass sich lecker und gesund nicht ausschließen müssen ????
Danke für die Inspiration!
Liebste Grüße, Romy
In Love with Bliss – plantiful recipes nourishing body & soul
Oh wie schön, das freut mich sehr liebe Romy!
LG, Ela ❤️
Not sure I’d call these brownies, but they remind me of what people call energy balls, or something like that. Mine were still a touch dry, so I would add maybe some warm water?? But I felt good about eating these to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Yes, either a little bit warm water or a few more dates. 🙂
I just made these on a rainy Sunday and they were absolutely delicious!! Great recipe and easy to make — I had all of the ingredients just in my kitchen.
Yay, that’s wonderful! Thanks for your kind comment! 🙂
Is ir possible to use almound flour instead of peanut flour in the glaze?
Hi Annie, not that’s not possible because it’s not as fine as peanut flour/powder and won’t dissolve in water. The peanut flour which I use is a very fine powder which will turn into peanut butter when you mix it with water and syrup. It’s also called powdered peanut butter. If you can’t buy it then simply follow the instructions in the recipe notes.
Thanks! The brownies look great. Can´t wait to try the recipe!
I used extremely ripe and sweet dates, it turned out a bit too sweet. I think it’s sweet enough without the glaze on top. What’s a good substitute to flax meal you recommend ? It tasted a bit bitter, I don’t like the taste of it in desserts.
Thanks for sharing, I’m new to your website and so far I like it.
Thanks for your feedback, George. Instead of flax meal you can use any ground nuts/seeds of choice.
This tastes so much better the next day! Not too sweet anymore and not bitter at all.
Wonderful! Makes me very happy. 🙂 Thank you, George!
Look Delicious you have a Thai Language?
Thank you very much
No, of course not. You can use Google translator. 🙂
When measuring the flax seeds, do i use the measurements before being ground or after? I ground up the amount in the recipe but after it was different measurements and not sure which to use.
Yes, you use the measurements before being ground, otherwise, I would have stated “ground flax seeds” in the recipe. You can also always refer to the grams in the recipe which is even more accurate. 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful recipe, as always!
What would u feel about the date syrup as a replacement for agave/maple?
Thanks! Yes, date syrup could work too. It’s probably not so sweet though. 🙂
This was the first gluten free, vegan anything I’ve ever made. I’m trying to eat a little healthier and I have a big sweet tooth. I must admit I was sceptical, but these brownies are seriously delicious! Damn!
So glad you liked them! Thanks so much for your feedback, Kim 🙂
I just made this for my husband’s birthday cake!
I think it seems special enough.
I tasted the topping and I think he will enjoy it! I used some almond butter instead of peanut flour.
I’m not sure I will fit 34 candles on it, however LOL
Aww, that’s so sweet of you! Happy birthday to your hubby 🙂
It was really delicious ????
So much better than any raw cake I have ever tasted.
He loved it.
Thanks so much for sharing your recipes.
Yay, that makes me so happy! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Hello! Would you be able to use stevia in place of maple syrup and dates by chance?
Hi Melissa, I am afraid this is not possible since dates are basically the main ingredient of these no-bake brownies.
I made this Brownies tonight. They are literally AMAZING???? Everybody in my family loved them and in couple of minutes they were all gone.
Can wait to try more your recipes Ela! You are a Star ????????????
Aww, thank you!! I am so glad to hear that you loved my brownie recipe, Cinzia ????
these are INCREDIBLE!!! my family LOVED them!!!! they are packed with wonderful ingredients and i swapped a few out and added a few in. Thank you so much! I stumbled across this, and made it right away!!! I will be checking more of your recipes out!! This is decadent!
Amazing!!! It makes me so happy that you love my no bake brownies! Thank you so much for letting me know 🙂
These brownies were so delicious and easy to make!!!!! I used almond flour instead of peanut flour as I had some leftover but they still tasted amazing! ????????????
Thank you very much for your feedback, Melissa. Yes, I also like them with almond flour! ????
The best vegan brownies I’ve ever made!! Thank you so much Ela for the recipe, they are delicious! My whole family loved them too (who don’t usually enjoy my healthy deserts)! They combine really well together so they arent crumbly, rather they are so soft and ‘creamy’ like. Adding green peas is such a great way to get vegetables into the diet especially for kids as you can’t taste them! Thanks again Ela ????????
Thank you so much for your feedback, Tayla. You commented in the wrong brownie blog post though, this one is the “no-bake brownies recipe” 😀 The ones you made are here: https://elavegan.com/best-vegan-brownies-recipe-gluten-free/ 🙂
I LOVE this recipe, although i didn’t have all the ingredients and altered it a bit, these turned it amazingly delicious as decadent!!! Healthy, guilt – free, VEGAN deliciousness!!! Thank you, Ela, for sharing. <3
Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Michelle! Really glad the brownies turned out amazing, even though you altered the recipe a little bit 🙂
Thanks for posting, Ela. I tried this recipe for the first time this evening. These were very tasty, especially the glaze. My hubby and I enjoyed them! I substituted oat flour for nut flour in the dough. I also used a mini chopper rather than a food processor. The mix never really went from powder to dough (even with an extra date), but I added a tbsp or two of water and molded it into a dough. I’m not sure whether the water changed the taste. Maybe I’ll have to try a hand mixer or blender next time.
Hello Judy. You shouldn’t have added water, it definitely changes the taste. Have your dates been soft and gooey or dry? Mine were very soft and gooey. If they are too dry, you can soak them in warm water for a few hours. I have made the recipe multiple times and the brownies always came out super gooey, moist and delicious and I use the cheapest food processor which is available on Amazon. I always make sure to blend long enough. The longer you blend the more will the dough stick together. Hope you will try them again soon and that my tips are helpful.
I recently became vegan, so I’ve been trying out new recipes. I was so surprised how the recipe goes in the food processor from a flour to a dough! I love the taste and texture, for the frosting I used almond butter and tasted amazing. Thank you so much Ela!
Great news, Marina! So happy you became vegan and tried out my recipe. Thanks for your kind comment 🙂
I just made these today! They are wonderful. Easy and healthy!! My 14 month old loves them! And I don’t feel bad giving them to her because they are healthy ❤❤❤
Hey Mellaney! Thanks so much for your lovely feedback. It makes me so happy that you and your 14-month-old love my raw vegan brownies. Much love to you and her 🙂
I am IN LOVE with these brownies! Hands down, the best I ever had! And sooo easy to make, I already made them 5 times 🙂 The hardest part is not eating all of them 🙂
Thank you so much for the amazing recipe <3
Wow, 5 times? That’s really amazing! Thanks so much for this great feedback, Maja!! 🙂
This is certainly THE best recipe for brownie bites out there! I made these with coconut flour, because my husband dislikes peanut butter combined with chocolate, and they are still more than amazing! This will be a staple at our house for sure. Thanks Ela!
Wow, I am so glad to hear that, Reni! Thanks for this amazing comment and for letting me know that these raw vegan brownies also turn out amazing with coconut flour 🙂
When I saw this recipe I was so excited to try it out! These are quick, easy, and I love how I already had all the ingredients at home. These are so rich and deliscious!! Will be making these very often, I love how healthy they are too!
Thank you very much, Kenzi! It makes me so happy that you enjoyed my recipe and that you are going to make the brownies very often in the future. Lots of love 🙂
These are absolutely amazing! Really inexpensive and easy as well???? I can’t recommend them enough
Thanks so much, Harrison! Super happy you like my easy to make raw brownies. 🙂
Omg I really wanna make these ???? Which food processor are you using? ???? Thanks
Thank you, Tabea! I used a cheap Ninja food processor. Just make sure to blend long enough until the dough sticks together when you press it between your fingers. 🙂
Hey Ela,
Hi from the Allgäu! Ive never commented on any food websites before, but just had to in this case. I’ve tried many no -bake vegan brownie recipes and most usually turn out too rich. I gotta say these brownies are awesome….a huge hit with my 7year old daughter! The use of flax flour is inspired – Im sure that this is the secret to the great gooeyness :o). I didn’t have enough almond flour, so used a mix of almond, hazelnut and walnut flour which turned out great and I guess gave a boost to the protein and mineral content. I also had to add a little moisture to the mix and used oat milk for this. Great recipes Ela….Thanks
Hey Richard, thanks so much for your amazing feedback! Makes me seriously so happy that you love my healthy brownies. Yes, I also think the flax makes this recipe unique, I haven’t seen it in any other recipe before. Super happy your daughter loves these no-bake brownies as well. So kind of you to take the time to leave such a nice comment. Much appreciated 🙂
My family love these! I made up a double batch to go into school lunches, as well as my own snacks this past week, and they went over so we’ll! My daughter has a big sweet tooth, and these definitely were a great touch in her lunches. My sons love them as after school treats.
Thanks so much for recipe! We will be making them again and again!
Thanks for your feedback Meggie! So happy you and your family enjoyed my recipe 🙂
Loved making these raw brownies… The recipe was simple and it took maybe 20 minutes to make before I popped them in the freezer for an hour. Definitely going to make again…. It will be perfect to make for thanksgiving or xmas as a nice after-dinner treat!
I really appreciate it that you take the time to leave such a wonderful feedback. Thank you very much, Marissa. I am thrilled that you enjoyed my no-bake brownies. 🙂
I made these and they’re delicious! They will definitely satisfy any chocolate craving!
Thank you very much, Amanda! I am so happy you liked my raw brownies 🙂
Thank you foe aharing your beautiful website and wonderful recipes with ua! Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you so much for your support 🙂
These look so awesome Ela, there aren’t really enough words in the English language! And so excited you added nutritional stats, that’s so helpful, thank you! Dee xx
Thank you so much for your support, my friend! Have a wonderful day, Dee 🙂
(..) i’m not such a talented baker.*
Haha, I bet you are ❤️
Simple, healthy and delicious. That’s the fact. The Brownies was successful by my first try, and seriously I’m such not a talented baker. Usually my mom is a little bit skeptical about vegan food and she love them! Recommendable!! Love Toni ❤️
Thanks so much for your feedback Toni! I am happy you liked my recipe and your mom too, that’s such a nice compliment. ❤️
They look so fudgy and delicious Ela! Such a great recipe!
Thank you, Jess, so sweet of you to stop by 🙂
Hi! Looks terrific! 🙂 I’m confused with the recipe though and not sure of the flax ingredient. The recipe says whole flax seeds but the link to Amazon product shows ground flax seeds , (flax seed meal?), and I’m not sure which one to use. Looks so delicious, just bought pb flour and can’t wait to try it!
Thank you for sharing this recipe ! 🙂
Hi, Cass, did you see the recipe instructions? Number 1 says: “Grind the flax seeds in a coffee grinder (or food processor) until they turn into a powder”. 😉
You can also use ground flax seeds (flax meal) however it’s always best to buy whole flax seeds and grind them into flax meal because this way you get FRESH flax meal which isn’t rancid (flax meal goes rancid pretty fast). Hope this clarifies your question. 🙂 Let me know how the brownies turned out.
PS: I will modify the Amazon link to avoid confusion. 🙂
Wow!!! Have to try these *-*
Thank you, Regina! You will find the German recipe here: https://elavegan.com/de/rohkost-brownies-vegan-glutenfrei-gesund/ 🙂
Oh wow Ela! These brownies look so fudgy and rich! Wish I could reach out and grab one right now 😀
Thank you, Nadia! I wish I could share them with you. Have a great weekend 🙂
These brownies are epicly amazing. I can’t get enough. I used crunchy peanuts butter in the glaze for a bit of crunch. I’m loving them!!
Thanks so much Jackie! I am really glad you liked my no bake brownies. Crunchy peanut butter sounds amazing as well 🙂
I wish I had these in front of me right now! Looks so tasty- going to try these very soon!
Thank you so much Ashley! 🙂
Hi Ela..The brownie look amazing!! My mouth watering just by looking at your photo. Planning on making it soon. Btw for the glaze, can i use raw honey instead of maple syrup?
Thank you…
Hello Yani, yes that should work as well. I hope you will like my no bake brownies. 🙂
This recipe is amazing! Thank you Ela! These brownies are super delicious- So simple and quick! I keep them in the freezer, so I always have them prepared as a snack.
I am so glad to hear that Paula! Thanks for your great feedback 🙂
Those brownies are so yummy! And they’re so fast and easy to make, I love it! The pure glaze is also very good but togehther with the ‘dough’ it’s just perfect ????. But my electric blender hadn’t made it so smooth and ‘sticky’, have you any tips?
Thanks for your great feedback, Mel. Did you use a blender or food processor? I used a very cheap food processor (Ninja) and it made the dough pretty smooth. You just need to make sure to blend long enough until the dough gets more sticky or even add an additional date. 🙂
I used a blender, but with the extra date or a drop of coconutoil it worked out very well. Thank you.
I am glad to hear that, Mel 🙂
Being vegan—and recently GF—has really put a damper on my sweet tooth. These brownies are a deliciously decadent godsend. Thank you!
I am glad to hear that, Debbie. Thank you very much 🙂
These brownies look so super delicious Ela!
Makes me so hungry 😀
Thank you, Bianca! You should give them a go, they are so yummy. 🙂 Have a great day.
Made the brownies and they were amazing! Thanks for recipe, my dear ????
Thank you very much Žana, I am thrilled you also loved my no bake brownies. They looked so amazing on your Instagram account! 🙂
Ela, this is amazing! I follow you on instagram for quite a while, but I’ve never cooked from you blog. Until now. And I can’t say how happy I am that this was my first recipe! I store this deliciousness in the freezer, and when I want something sweet, I just take 1 piece (ok, 2), put banana on top and enjoy ???? Thank you:)
Hello Sveta, thanks so much for your lovely feedback. I am really glad that you tried these no bake brownies from my blog and that you love them as much as I do. I also store mine in the freezer, it’s so convenient to take them out 5-10 minutes before I want to eat them. Great idea to put banana slices on top, I love the combo banana and chocolate. 🙂
I’ve just made these brownies and they’re really wonderful! Thanks! I love them because there are just a few ingredients needed and because they don’t have to be baked! And I love that they’re completely flourless! Mine don’t look quite so good like in the picture and it’s such a small amount but I was surprised how little I could eat because they’re quite nourishing, and very delicious indeed!
I am pleased you liked the brownies, Luna, and I agree they are very nourishing. 🙂 It would be awesome if you could also leave a star rating for the recipe. Thanks so much! 🙂
I made those brownies on friday and they are delicious. I made double portion. My god this is so sweet and goes great with icecream ????
Thank you
Thank you very much, Nina! I am happy you loved my raw brownies. And yes, with ice cream, that sounds so good! 🙂
Hey Ela!
Auch ich habe das Rezept ausprobiert und die Brownies sind wirklich sehr, sehr gut. Vielen Dank an dich fürs Teilen. Bei mir hatten die brownies einen leichten Bananengeschmack, das hat meine ganze Familie gesagt, obwohl ja gar keine Banane enthalten ist. Uns hat es nicht gestört, da wir alle Banane mögen. Aber mich inteeessiert, ob das bei dir auch so war?
Hallo Sonja, es freut mich sehr, dass dir/euch mein Rezept so gut geschmeckt hat. Das mit dem Bananengeschmack finde ich allerdings sehr interessant, davon habe ich wirklich nichts geschmeckt und ich habe die Brownies nun schon einige Male gemacht. 🙂 PS: Hast du gesehen, dass ich auch auf Deutsch blogge? Ich frage nur, weil du hier auf der englischen Seite kommentierst und nicht bei dem deutschen Blogpost 😉
Simple to make and extremely yummy! Love the glossy cacao top! My little 15 month old licked the date mixture from the spoon saying mmm hehe first attempt tonight with almond flour looking forward to getting some peanut flour to repeat it. Also need a smaller tray to get a perfect square! #goals
Awww that’s so cute of your baby. 🙂 Thanks for leaving such a lovely feedback 🙂
I loved this recipe!!!
Very delicious
Go vegan
Thank you so much, Karolina! Makes me happy you liked my recipe. Yes, veganism rocks 🙂
I made the brownie last week and it was amazing!
Thank you for the recipe!
I am glad to hear that, Sharon. Thanks for your great feedback 🙂
Omg Ela, these brownies are amazing! And the photography is beautiful. That ganache on top is just amazingly beautiful.
Thank you so much Nisha! So sweet of you to say this 🙂
I just made a batch of these as a gift for my gluten-free friend but I seriously doubt they’re going to make it to her – soooooo delicious! And so easy! I used almond instead of peanut flour and they’re divine. One question – can you just leave them in the freezer for ages or do they go too hard? I’m worried that they’ll be too melty if I keep them in the fridge! Xxx
Hey Alice, thanks for your a great feedback! Should you ever get some peanut flour, then make another batch, I like it even more, but yes almond flour is amazing too. I store leftovers (from recipe testing) in the freezer and that works perfectly fine. I take them out 10 minutes before I want to eat them and they have the perfect gooey consistency, not hard at all. I hope your friend will like them too, if you give her some, haha. 🙂
Made these last night. The brownie part turned out amazing, but since I ran out of almond flour, I used coconut flour in the topping. Believe me, coconut flour doesn’t belong anywhere near this recipe. In fact, I’m avoiding coconut flour altogether from now on due to it’s penchant for soaking up too much liquid and always creating a very grainy, unpleasant texture. I’m going to try fixing the topping with avacado. I’d add coconut oil too if I hadn’t run out of that lately.
Hi George, I am glad you loved my brownie recipe. Why did you use coconut flour for the glaze? Did you run out of peanut butter? I wrote in the recipe notes: “You can skip the peanut flour in the chocolate glaze and use 1 1/2 – 2 tbsp of regular peanut butter or any other nut/seed butter instead”. I tried the glaze with sunflower seed butter and it turned out amazing. Peanut flour is the best low-fat option for the glaze as it turns into peanut butter when you mix it with water or maple syrup. You can make the brownies with coconut flour, but NOT the glaze, haha. Avocado however works pretty well in the glaze too 🙂
These look amazing, can’t wait to make them! I want to make them to bring on an RV trip…how long will they last in the fridge or freezer?
They can be stored in the freezer for at least a month or even longer. I am sure you can store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks but the glaze might melt, that’s why I store leftovers in the freezer. Hope this helps 🙂
I made these brownies thinking it was going to go bad since I don’t own a food processor. Luckily, I had flaxmill to substitute flax seeds. Ok but seriously…. THESE ARE THE BEST VEGAN BROWNIES IVE EVER HAD/MADE. Even non-vegan people will fall in love with these! They have such a perfect consistency and sweetness. Definitely making these again!!
Awww, thank you so much for this wonderful feedback, Jessa. How awesome that you made my recipe without a food processor! Wow, that’s seriously amazing. I am very glad you like these no bake brownies as much as I do. 🙂
Thank you for inventing this recipe!
I fell in love with these brownie bites the very moment I saw them on your Instagram. I’m so glad I made them today.
I chose almond flour because that’s what I had at home.
The taste is to die for and they look so mouthwatering! Every chocolate lover should try this recipe!

Yay, I am so glad to hear you also fell in love with my brownie bites recipe. I have made it a couple of times and can’t get enough, haha. Thanks for this amazing feedback, it really makes me happy to hear that you appreciate my recipe. 🙂
Do you have all the nutritional information that would be supplied on a label if these were sold in supermarkets?
Yes, I calculated everything with Cronometer and modified the post. You can check it out now.
Is one serving size just 1/12 of the whole pan?
Hey, Riley! The Nutrition Facts are for one serving if you cut the batch into 16 brownie bites like mentioned in the recipe. So one brownie is 1/16 of the whole pan. 🙂
Great! I like those numbers 🙂 So excited to try this, thank you for all of your hard work to provide us with such delicious recipes!!
Thanks a lot for your support, Riley ????
Could you use coconut flour instead peanut flour?
Yes, I think that should work just fine. You might need a little bit less because coconut flour is very absorbent, but try it out and report back. 🙂
Can you use normal flour? These look good!
Hey Brooke, well I think you could, but I believe it won’t taste that good, to be honest. I never tried it out though because I don’t use regular flour as I am intolerant to wheat and I want to avoid gluten. I would recommend to either use almond flour (ground almonds) or ground sunflower seeds or ground hazelnuts. You could also try ground oats (just process oats in your food processor or blender and you have oat flour in seconds) if you don’t want to use ground nuts or seeds. Let me know how the brownies turned out if you make them. 🙂
Made these today – quick, not difficult at all! I used almond flour and almond butter, as per your notes on substitutions. They made a very small batch, but they’re so fudgy it’s great that they’re small. The glaze itself is fantastic, I used a hand mixer to make it extra creamy. It’s not overly-sweet, but perfect healthy bites. Thank you for this quick fudgy bite!
Hello Jackie, thanks for your great feedback. I need to use a hand mixer for the glaze the next time, such a great idea. I am really glad you enjoyed my recipe 🙂
Best raw brownies ever! Thanks, Ela. You’re amazing and so are your recipes! ????
Aww, thank you so much, Pilar! I am thrilled that you like my raw brownies. Much love ????
This brownie is amazing!!! So delicious! I just saw the post and made it right away and it was so good that I DID A SECOND BATCH 10 minutes later. Thanks!!!!
Yay, that makes me seriously so happy! Thanks for your awesome feedback, I am so glad you like my “no bake brownies”. 🙂
Do they taste like peanut butter or chocolate? I love a fudgy brownie but with all the pb I wonder if they wld taste more like a Reese cup
Aloha! Ela, wie lecker das wieder aussieht! Es veführt dazu, den Bildschirm/display abzulecken???? das fettfreie cchocolate icing ist der Hammer! Wird getestet! Liebe Grüße, Pat
Hihi dankeschön liebe Pat! So lieb von dir hier vorbeizuschauen. Falls du mein Rezept ausprobierst, dann bitte berichten. Liebe Grüße zurück 🙂
Been looking forward to this recipe for ages!! However I have a nut/peanut allergy, would oat flour work instead of peanut flour?
Hey Kahli, like mentioned in the blog post and in the recipe you can use almond flour instead of peanut flour but if you are allergic to almonds as well then oat flour should work too, never tried it out though. Maybe ground sunflower seeds would be a better option?
This is life — thank you so much for this recipe … I’ve been waiting so long for them and now I am so happy!!
You are very welcome, Claudia! I hope you will enjoy the brownies 🙂
