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, I've been on a cleanse for 19 days now and I dreamed of making this brownie. I was wondering if it is okay to use pitted/dried dates? Can't seem to find fresh dates. Thanks!

Yes, dry/pitted is totally fine, I use those often if I don't have fresh.

Raw brownie recipe
I am very particular about the texture of my food. So much so I do not like chunks of fruit in anything. I did not know how I would like the brownie recipe. I was so shocked how awesome it was! My first batch was eaten by my family as soon as I put it in the pan and my husband immediately took it over to my in-laws' house. They all loved it. Even my nephew who eats nothing but junk food plowed through it. I just immediately made a double batch so that I might get a few bites. Thank you so much!

Heather, you're going to have to make a batch and hide it! Glad you all loved the brownies!

Raw brownie recipe
Thank you so much for this lovely recipe. I ended up substituting 4 TBS quinoa flakes for the coconut for extra protein and it worked great!! These will be a new staple for me!

Raw brownie recipe
It was amazing. I left out the sweetener since the cheescake filling was sweet enough. Delicious combo!

Raw brownie recipe
This is sooooo good :) Instead of the raw chocolate icy you used, I used another recipe. 1 ripe banana, 1 avocado, 2 tablespoons of cocoa, 1 spoon of honey, 2 spoons of coffee.. it was such a good chocolaty combo :)

Could you use peanuts instead of pecans?
The Rawtarian
Apr 14, 2015
Hi Gerd! I do not recommend raw peanuts, but you could try with roasted (if you eat them).
