Ingredients
- 1 cup raw walnuts (or pecans for a twist)
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup Shakeology chocolate vegan powder
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 tbsp chia seeds (for extra omega-3)
Equipment
- Food processor or high-speed blender
- Mixing bowl
- 8×8 inch square baking pan or container
- Parchment paper
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
Instructions
- Prepare the dates: Soak the pitted Medjool dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften. Drain before use.
- Process the nuts: In a food processor, pulse the raw walnuts until they form a fine crumb but not a paste. This adds texture to your brownies.
- Add the dates: Add the soaked dates to the nuts and process until combined and sticky.
- Mix dry ingredients: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, Shakeology powder, and sea salt to the processor. Pulse a few times to incorporate.
- Incorporate wet ingredients: Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture comes together into a thick dough-like consistency.
- Stir in chocolate chips: Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips (and chia seeds if using) with a spatula.
- Press into pan: Line your baking pan with parchment paper. Press the brownie mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to slice.
- Slice and serve: Once set, cut into 10 equal squares and enjoy your delicious no-bake brownies!
Tips & Variations
For an extra fudgy texture, add 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil to the mixture before pressing into the pan.
If you prefer a nut-free version, substitute walnuts with sunflower seeds and use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the brownies before chilling for a delightful sweet-salty contrast.
You can also experiment by adding shredded coconut, chopped dried cherries, or even a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor. Looking for a different vegan dessert?
