Black Raspberry No-Bake Date Brownies

Ingredients (makes around 9 brownies):

  • 1 ⅓ cups dates, pits removed
  • 1 cup walnuts or pecans
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • Around ½ cup black raspberry powder, not packed (If cut into 9 squares, this is one serving per square)
  • ¼ cup applesauce
  • ½ cup almond or peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup roughly chopped nuts

Instructions:

Note: If you are having trouble mixing, try mixing one half at a time, or using less black raspberry powder!

In a food processor:

  1. Add dates and nuts and pulse a few times before processing until finely ground.
  2. Add the cocoa powder and black raspberry powder and pulse until the powders are completely incorporated into the brownie mixture.
  3. Add almond or peanut butter and applesauce and mix until the mixture comes together.

Line the bottom of an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper (it makes the brownies easier to take out!) and press the brownie mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the top of the brownies with chopped nuts, pressing the nuts lightly into the brownies. Cover and place the brownies in the fridge for at least one hour before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips and notes:

  • Because this is a no-bake recipe, the mixture gets thick and put our blender to the test. The recipe worked much better when using a food processor.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water or applesauce.
  • You can always get creative with the toppings! We like adding some flake salt on top of our brownies in addition to the chopped nuts.
