Wow! I am really impressed. I've come across many raw food websites but yours is the least daunting! I usually have all the ingredients in stock and if I don't, they aren't so exotic that I can't find them at my local market. Also the recipes are pretty easy and not too complicated, in my opinion. I'm always excited when I have the tools/supplies on hand to make recipes that look divine; this brownie recipe, included.

I appreciate that your site is well organised and attractive, which is another reason I keep coming back!

These look delicious and I can't wait to try them! I'm not a fan of coconut though. Would leaving it out make a difference?

Thanks!

Thanks for the brownies secipe!
we all love it wery much.

These were absolutely divine! I subbed almonds for the pecans and they were still perfect. It took me 10 minutes to prepare them (8 spent removing the pits from the dates) and all that I had for dishes were the 3 pieces from the food processor a measuring cup and a tablespoon. I love raw "baking"!

This is a gorgeous recipe. We have tried it out, soooo rich and dark. We had to put it onto our blog. Thank you for very much for sharing, brilliant raw food site. Happy days, lee and janex

I was wondering, could I use prunes instead of dates?

Oops, these are deliciously sticky. They're chilling in the fridge at the moment but the freshly processed brownie mix tastes so nice already, the remind me a bit of a NAKD bar. Yum!

Wow! This one's a keeper. I might try to substitute cacao powder to cacao nibs. CHOFFY offers an all natural organic good for your health cacao nibs.

I substituted dates for prunes, but it wasn't particularly good... however, i tried again and omitted it altogether ... was delicious! Also did the same version with added banana chips and another tablespoon of agave .... THE BEST YET!

*substituted prunes for dates I mean lol

I just started a raw diet (lifestyle, really) and these are FANTASTIC! I made one batch, tasted them, and because it was SO quick and easy, I made a second batch right away. My two little boys LOVE them as well! Thanks so much!

Taste great But mine turned out more like fudge brownies :)

Love these brownies, share the recipe with everyone. Everyone loves them!
Can you tell me what the calorie count is? Thanks!!

Love the recipe! Everyone loves it when I bring it to parties!

I've never tried a raw recipe, I've just started doing some research into this lifestyle because I'm seriously looking for a healthy eating lifestyle to teach my children. I tried these brownies tonight and I love them:))))

I won a bake off prize with these brownies, judged by non raw foodies and non vegans :)

Hi, Laura-Jane,
I made your raw brownie recipe today with my almost 3 year old daughter. It turned out amazingly awesome. I used walnuts, coconut, and soaked the dates, but omitted the honey. My other daughter, who won't eat regular brownies, said that she LOVED these. Thanks a lot! I will highly recommend them! Jennifer

Dear Laura-Jane,
I really loved these--my first try at a raw, vegan dessert. My three year old helped to make them, and my ten year old, who does not ever eat brownies, loved these. Thanks a lot! I will highly recommend them to others.

My toddler loves these! Any suggestions on a hidden veggie that I could add?

Would you have any substitutions/suggestions for coconut allergies? Thanks

They're in the refrigerator as I type! I snuck a bite of the batter - just enough to get me salivating for more. One tip to anyone reading: when pressing into the pan, covering the mix with wax or parchment paper makes it easier to press to a nice, smooth finish (unless you want a lot of finger indentations in the top!).

Dynamite!!! Thanks for the terrific recipe.

I just made them yesterday for my mother. She and I both love them! Thank you so much for this!

Reblogged this. Made this recipe twice already. I do not have raw cocoa so I used baking cocoa. The first time I did not have shredded coconut so I used oats. Each time they turned out delicious. Served it to little kids and they agreed it's very tasty. Love this recipe.

Just made the raw chocolate brownies and IM A HUGE FAN!! They do indeed taste like the real deal :)) I didn't have shredded coconut so I used coconut oil to make it a little more moist, but added a tad bit too much and became little oily. Oh well, first time making raw recipes and I'm learning every step of the way.

All in all, I'll never go back to buying any vegan brownies outside anymore!!

p.s by the way, I'm not a raw vegan but I'm converting into a vegetarian at the moment :)

Made the brownies today. They are delicious. Judged my dates to be less than moist so soaked them in warm water for about 15 minutes and drained them. Added 1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder for another layer of depth. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Doing a "raw challenge" this week and this is one of the best parts of it! Fantastic recipe -- works like a charm and is absolutely delicious. (And yes, my daughter and I were both very pleasantly surprised.) :) Thank you!

Hey there,

I want to make these desperately but my husband doesn't eat coconut. Could I substitute with extra nuts or just omit them without changing the texture of the brownie?

Thanks! Trying a Clean Eating approach and I am intrigued by anything RAW. I am making them as we speak. There is not a huge selection of organic food where I live but I did manage to find the dates, although they are mostly dried out. I put them in water hoping to rehydrate them somewhat. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I rolled the dough up into two bite balls and called them Brownie Bites! My 4 year old daughter and I are waiting for them to set in the fridge but we are both wanting more after the little sampler we already had! GREAT RECIPE!

Greeting from New Zealand :) great to find your website and appreciate you sharing your delicious creativeness! looking forward to new tastes and the challenge to make time to try all your great recipes:) This one was absolutely delish! Great to devour such a healthy treat and I helped the tastebuds along with some quality 72% Dark Choc bits scrummo! and you sure gotta make a double batch;)
NB:Softened my rock hard dates in double boiler with lid on and no excess water to squeeze away all that tasty date juice & processed super smoothly:)

Easily one of the best raw desserts I've ever had. I've been looking for a brownie recipe that is as easy as it is delicious...thank you!!

Loved 'em.
Happily made a bunch, ate them, then made some more to take to the office.
Then I borrowed your recipe to share with others. Hope you don't mind. (I put a link back here to give you credit.)

I just made these brownies and put them in my standard 8"x8" tin but the mixture didn't even touch the sides and was as thin as a wafer! I had to search my cupboards for a tiny container. You don't say how many servings this recipe makes.

Mind. Blown. These brownies, my raw star, are otherworldly. Love the addition of the sea salt. And you're right, the pecans make it. I added some unprocessed chopped walnuts too for nut-brownies. Just another of your amazingly easy and delicious raw recipes for the win! Off to make some now!

Are there any alternatives to pecans or other nuts and seeds that I can use? Would shredded coconut work?

Hi,

I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. Looks delish! I was wondering if these brownies can travel. I'm considering making them for a friend overseas and probably using FedEx (2 or 3 day shipping). Should I put them in the freezer before to keep them colder longer while in transit?

Thanks!

Dana

These are AMAZING!! I put some of the chocolate icing on them and they were heavenly! im not even kidding. I have never tasted something that was so rick, smooth, chocolatey and delicious.. that was actually healthy for you. Im not gonna lie, I had one for breakfast :) Thanks for this! YUM!!
