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!

Your recipes look very good so far (as does the site), but your SEO is just WAY over the top. I can't stand it anymore and I'm going to have to stop reading. How many times can a person write "raw brownie recipe" on one page? It isn't natural at all, and it comes off as needy and unprofessional. I've read several of your recipes now, and they are all exactly the same in this regard. I have to tell you, it is both transparent and extremely off-putting.
Real food bloggers don't need this sort of silliness. Take a step back from trying to hoodwink Google and let your recipes and site construction speak for itself. Judging fro the rest of what you have here, I think it will be a success.
Good luck.

Hi Sam,
Thanks very much for your feedback. I hear what you are saying, but at the same time would you have arrived here at all had I not put some effort into trying to get Google to recognize my website's existence?
I am not sure.

Welcome Fi! Looking forward to receiving more comments from you once you have a chance to try a recipe! If you're not sure where to begin, I suggest making my raw brownies if you have a food processor

Raw brownie recipe
I'm making these for my yoga classmate's birthday! I don't have a food processor yet. Will a 4 cup food processor work? Thanks for all your recipes!!!! <3

Hi Jeanine - it's best to get at least an 8 cup food processor if possible.

Made these and truly not sure if I can share, 50:50 prune/date and pecan/walnut combo skipped the agave syrup and still rich moist gooey gastronomic excellence!
Thanks so much for my waist ... It's coming back again!

I loved this ratio of ingredients, the brownies are excellent. I've been trying to use up some dark agave that I don't like, so I'm looking forward to making it again when I can use a lighter agave or honey. Even with the heavy agave taste these were fabulous. Easy too!

Where can I find the raw chocolate icing? Today is my first day on the challenge and I plan to make the brownies tonight but it will be great to have the icing , I just don't see where the steps for making is located.

Hi Nikki - just do a search in the app for "chocolate icing" = the ingredients are
1 cup dates
1/4 cup raw cacao (cocoa) powder
1/4 cup cold-pressed coconut oil (also known as coconut butter)
3/4 cup water (or a tiny bit more if needed - try to keep at 3/4 cup or so though)

Raw brownie recipe
Yumm! My family who currently doesn't eat completely raw yet and who are also huge brownie fans just loved this recipe! I loved that I had an alternative that was spades more nutrient-dense to offer than the standard brownie! Thanks!

The brownies are divine. The second time I made them used half dates and half prunes, because I did not have dates enough, the result was fantastic. I love your recipes. Thanks.

Hi Blanca, love dried prunes! They work well as substitutes for dates in many recipes because they are both sweet and both sticky and have a similar texture, as you discovered

Raw brownie recipe
These brownies were so simple to create, and they tasted wonderful!
The moist, slightly crunchy texture was awesome. My husband had four, and is still talking about them hours later.
I love your website and recipes...thank you!
And - as I was in line at the grocery store today, someone asked me about some of my purchases, and the convo ended with my writing down your website for her. Then, we find out I was her son's English teacher last year. So, your food makes people come together!
