Recipe Directions

  • 1. Place pecans alone in your food processor and process until the pecans become small and crumbly.
  • 2. Add dates to the raw brownie recipe and process again until the mixture sticks together and the dates are well processed.
  • 3. Add the remaining ingredients to this raw brownie recipe and process again until the mixture turns a lovely dark chocolatey brown. Stop processing before it gets too buttery. (There should still be air between the small bits so that you will be able to press them down into your brownie pan.)
  • 4. Dump the mixture into a brownie dish or small cake pan and press down firmly using your clean hands.
  • 5. Refrigerate this raw brownie recipe for a couple of hours. You do not have to refrigerate it, but it is much easier to slice when chilled. By the way, this is actually a raw brownie recipe that keeps its shape! So it can be good for serving to non-raw fooders because the presentation of this raw brownie recipe is good when chilled.
  • 6. Store this raw brownie recipe in the refrigerator if it lasts that long!
  • PS: For an even more delightful brownie, serve it with this easy, instant raw chocolate icing.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

By The Rawtarian

Raw brownie recipe -- finally, a raw brownie recipe that tastes like REAL BROWNIES!

I am quite surprised and amazed at how the texture of this raw brownie recipe resembles real brownies--especially after this raw brownie recipe is refrigerated for about an hour or even longer.

My husband thinks this raw brownie recipe needs chocolate icing, but I disagree. I think it's perfect on its own! (But it is true, everything is better with raw chocolate icing on it.)

You can also use this raw brownie recipe as a pie crust or as very chocolately raw truffles.

Good luck trying to keep this raw brownie recipe around for longer than 24 hours. This vegan recipe would be good for about eight small servings. Feel free to double the recipe if you want more or if you want to make it last longer. (I usually double it.)

Advanced optional tip: Throw 1 tablespoon cacao nibs into the mixture after processing and before squishing into pan for fun crunchy texture!

I made 2 brownies, one after the other one, because the first one was gone in no time. Great with the chocolate icing.
I would like to mention that I used walnuts instead of pecans. I think its important to use what's best in each country. I live in Spain and walnuts are really good, pecans are bad and expensive... If I lived in Iran I would indeed use pistachios!

I made my first 2-raw dishes last night. First the brownies and then the chocolate icing. The brownies came out perfect. They taste fantastic and no I don't miss the white sugar. I'm so stoked!!!

Hi Beautiful People,

This is a gorgeous recipe, simply gorgeous. However, I used walnuts instead of pecans and after chilled and served, a few of the uneaten brownies became oily. HELP!!! Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Hi Mayah!

Too oily means that you processed the batter a little too long in the food processor. Next time, don't go for quite as long :)

Madisen Lane's Review

OMG, So I just had a big batch of these, after having your Spaghetti recipe and let me say wow... Absolutely WOW. I've been transitioning from being vegan to being fullyraw for the last few months...I've completed up to 2 weeks being completely raw but starting yesterday, I wanted to jump on being fullyraw with no timeline (hopefully for ever) and I came across your site today. I got everything for the spaghetti zoodles, "tuna salad", brownies/icing, and lemon cookies for under $50 (thanks to Trader Joes) and after making your amazing spaghetti and brownies, I am so motivated for doing this long term now! Thank you so much! <3 ++

This is yum... My dish was a tad too big... so next something a bit more fitting. I made the icing to go with it. Tastes exactly like the SAD...

Made these today---took about 5 minutes and they were delicious. I could not have believed how satisfying they were--my curiosity got the best of me, and it was worth it! I am an avid cook and really looking forward to making more. Delving into soups for tomorrow--starting with carrots because that is what I have on hand.
