They’re kind of like homemade versions of Lara bar brownies – chewy, soft chocolate-filled bites you’ll be able to sink your teeth into. And I really love that I can make such a little batch. It’s good for all people to own one big or two small brownies. And then they’re gone.

They are also nicely packed for a school lunch or snack, and my husband likes to wrap one up to take to the workplace.

No-Bake Raw Date Brownies Notes

• I use one teaspoon of water for these; however, it depends on how dry your dates are. Add as required. The mixture will be crumbly but should stick to itself once prepared if you press it between your fingers.
• These can go immediately – they hold together very well that you can slice it instantly. However, if I’ve got the time, i prefer to leave them in the refrigerator to get them to firm up a bit more.
• We either make four large or eight smaller brownie bites from this recipe. The large ones are great as an energy bar substitute, whereas the smaller ones are nice for a quick snack or school lunch addition.

• 1 cup of walnuts
• 10 large pitted and chopped Medjool dates
• 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1-3 teaspoons water

How to make Raw Date Brownies:

• Line nicely a small 3″ x 5.75” bread pan with cling wrap and put aside.
• Place the walnuts within the food processor and pulse into finely ground.
• Add the remaining ingredients, without the water, and pulse till well combined.
• Add a splash of water, as needed, to get the mixture to blend together nicely. it’ll be crumbly but will stick to itself after you press it between your fingers.
• Slice and serve or refrigerate if you wish to get them to firm up a bit more.
