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!

Hi Karen Lee,
Fresh medjool dates are best, but dried up baking dates work fine too - this recipe is VERY forgiving, so either will work fine, just make sure you pack the cup full and are using 1 full cup of dates

Could I use carob instead of cacao?
The Rawtarian
Dec 26, 2013
Hi Ashley,
Yes, but maybe add a bit more carob than cacao since carob has a weaker flavor

Can these be made without the shredded coconut? I don't want a coconut flavor in mine...
The Rawtarian
Dec 26, 2013
Hi Rena, yes, you can omit the coconut (or you can use hempseed hearts instead)

Raw brownie recipe
I made this last night for dessert after a meal of cucumber mint gazpacho and raw lasagna. While my guest raved about the lasagna, I wasn't prepared for the reaction I got after eating the brownie. It's that look that all cooks dream about. That pause after the bite, the gentle closing of the eyes, and the smile that bursts forth. I was even told by my non raw guest that he is ruined from "real" brownies and doesn't understand why restaurants wouldn't serve this version. This will be a staple going forward!

Man, your dinner sounds delicious Steve. Nice work with your dessert!! Love that look, you described it well lol

Can't wait to make this! I was wondering if it would still work to do a half half mix of Pecans and almonds?
The Rawtarian
Dec 18, 2013
Hi Albertine, yes, that would probably be fine with 1/2 almond and 1/2 pecan or walnuts. (But don't use ALL almonds because almonds aren't as oily - and the mixture won't stick together properly if you do all almonds)

Raw brownie recipe
Wow! I just love these super quick easy recipes! This one was delicious! It was hard not to eat the brownies right out of the blender. ;)

Raw brownie recipe
Made this and am slowly eating the entire batch (is that bad?). Super good... it tastes like an overly undercooked brownie (my favorite).
Is this easily transportable (i.e., if I were to make it could I get away bringing it on to a 2-3 hour flight for a holiday party... a total of 5-6 hours out of the fridge)?
The Rawtarian
Dec 05, 2013
You are amazing wanting to bring your brownies on a flight. You must be super organized lol.
Yes, I think it would travel fine, much better than many of my recipes actually. Just put it back in fridge when you get there

Wonderful recipe!!!! My family loved them! I used walnuts, and they were still pretty good. Also, I made a raw chocolate icing to go on top, which was a big hit!!
