Satisfy that sugar craving with these guilt free no-bake brownies.
My affair with food has existed possibly since birth. My earliest memories include peppering a bowl of mashed potatoes with my grandmother, and adding in some shredded cheese to embellish it a little more. All the books I enjoyed reading referenced food in some way. The only Amelia Bedelia book I remember was when Amelia made strawberry tarts. The only Arthur narrative I recall involves D.W. being a picky eater.
I like good food (obviously, who doesn’t), and I only post my favorite recipes on this blog. While I do believe that healthy food can be tasty, in regards to dessert, it’s not always easy to find a dish that checks both boxes. My quest during the past couple months has been to develop tasty, healthy dessert recipes as I’d like to try and reduce the amount of sugar in my diet. Sugar is great once in a while, but not when you’re gouging it day in day out.
I gave these no-bake brownies to a couple friends, and the reaction was- do these really have no sugar? No chocolate? No butter? How?
How indeed.
A combination of dates, cacao powder and nuts glazed with a coconut oil-cacao ganache yields a rich, chocolatey product.
Although these don’t taste exactly like traditional butter and sugar-based brownies [1] (totally different ingredients), they are chewy, rich, full of chocolate and a great way to satisfy that sugar craving.
Whether you’re looking for a gluten-free brownies recipe, or a vegan brownies recipe, this is it!
Now this recipe is made purely from nuts, so it isn’t cheap. But it lasts quite a while and can be served in small portions. Also, you can get away with substituting many of the ingredients based on what you have at home, so you may not need to go out and buy a ton of stuff.
